• Variability and correlations in carnivore crania and dentition (2005, background): “Such variability can take the shape of continuous variation or of enhanced sexual size dimorphism (Van Valen 1965; Rothstein 1973; Meiri et al. 2005b).”
• Slaying dragons: limited evidence for unusual body size evolution on islands (2011, background): “…that we study, in terms of their area and isolation, climate, geology (e.g. whether they are part of the continental shelf, part of a tectonic plate or volcanic) and biogeographic settings (e.g. realm, ocean) may all affect the mode of size evolution (Meiri et al., 2005b; Schillaci et al., 2009).”
