J Hum Evol . 2024 Sep; 195:103580. PMID: 39226621
Thermoregulation is argued to be an important factor influencing body breadth in hominins based on the relationship of surface area to body mass first proposed by Bergmann. Selection for a...

Tsuboi M, Sztepanacz J, De Lisle S, Voje K, Grabowski M, Hopkins M, et al.
J Evol Biol . 2024 Aug; 37(12):1413-1432. PMID: 39208440
The relationship between the evolutionary dynamics observed in contemporary populations (microevolution) and evolution on timescales of millions of years (macroevolution) has been a topic of considerable debate. Historically, this debate...

Grabowski M
Syst Biol . 2024 Jul; 73(6):1038-1050. PMID: 39046734
Relationships among species in the tree of life can complicate comparative methods and testing adaptive hypotheses. Models based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process permit hypotheses about adaptation to be tested by...

Voje K, Saulsbury J, Starrfelt J, Latorre D, Rojas A, Kinneberg V, et al.
Trends Ecol Evol . 2023 Sep; 38(12):1165-1176. PMID: 37696719
Measurement theory, a branch of applied mathematics, offers guiding principles for extracting meaning from empirical observations and is applicable to any science involving measurements. Measurement theory is highly relevant in...

Grabowski M, Pienaar J, Voje K, Andersson S, Fuentes-Gonzalez J, Kopperud B, et al.
Syst Biol . 2023 May; 72(4):955-963. PMID: 37229537
Models based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process have become standard for the comparative study of adaptation. Cooper et al. (2016) have cast doubt on this practice by claiming statistical problems with...

Spear J, Grabowski M, Sekhavati Y, Costa C, Goldstein D, Petrullo L, et al.
J Hum Evol . 2023 Apr; 179:103359. PMID: 37099927
The primate vertebral column has been extensively studied, with a particular focus on hominoid primates and the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. The number of vertebrae in hominoids-up...

Grabowski M, Kopperud B, Tsuboi M, Hansen T
Syst Biol . 2022 Dec; 72(2):404-418. PMID: 36454664
Increased brain size in humans and other primates is hypothesized to confer cognitive benefits but brings costs associated with growing and maintaining energetically expensive neural tissue. Previous studies have argued...

Young M, Richard D, Grabowski M, Auerbach B, de Bakker B, Hagoort J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Aug; 8(33):eabq4884. PMID: 35977020
Evolutionary responses to selection for bipedalism and childbirth have shaped the human pelvis, a structure that differs substantially from that in apes. Morphology related to these factors is present by...

Williams S, Prang T, Meyer M, Nalley T, Van Der Merwe R, Yelverton C, et al.
Elife . 2021 Nov; 10. PMID: 34812141
Adaptations of the lower back to bipedalism are frequently discussed but infrequently demonstrated in early fossil hominins. Newly discovered lumbar vertebrae contribute to a near-complete lower back of Malapa Hominin...
