1 INTRODUCTION Identifying predictable, directional patterns of evolutionary change has proven challenging (Clegg & Owens, 2002; Jezierski et al., 2023; Wright et al., 2016). For a long time, scientists have recognized that insular environments offer distinctive conditions that make species to evolve to different directions than on adjacent mainland areas (Wallace, 1880).

AbstractThe capacity of organisms to adapt to vacant niches or changing environments is limited by physical constraints on morphological evolution. Substantial progress has been made in identifying how these constraints shape the form and function of producers (plants), but our understanding of evolutionary limits in consumers (animals) remains highly limited, in part because the requisite data have not been available at sufficient scale.
