Analyses of head and thorax in Eupomphini (Meloidae) suggest that complex behaviors are not associated to changes in general shape

Our results reject an association between general shape and behavior in most cases. Instead, stress how general shapes of thorax and head radiated in all directions. We also identified a radical separation of two lineages that could be representing an evolutionary constraint. Table S1 C1–C4 convergence measures and P-values. P-values were derived from 1000 simulations to test the hypothesis that the observed values are greater than random simulations based on Brownian motion. Values in bold are statistically significant (P < 0.05).
