Arnold's (1983) ecomorphological paradigm describes the relationships among morphology, performance, and fitness. In evolutionary biology, these three factors are often studied through the lens of ecological morphology (Wainwright & Reilly, 1994), which stresses the importance of the environment in studies of organismal form and function. For example, ecomorphological approaches have been used to decipher how the environment relates to the evolution of morphology, performance, and lineage diversification (e.g.,
