“…Conversely, evolutionary allometry and integration together predict almost half the observed shape variation, with phylogeny remaining an important factor in shape identity throughout our analyses, particularly in separating cockatoos (Cacatuoidea) from the true parrots (Psittacoidea). CONCLUSIONS: Our results are similar to recent findings about the evolutionary trajectories of skull and beak shape in other avian families. …”
