The mammalian presacral vertebral column shows little variation in vertebral count and therefore specialization for function occurs primarily through modification of vertebral shape. However, vertebral shape has been suggested to be under strong control from developmental canalization, although this has never been explicitly tested. Here, we assess hypotheses of developmental modules in the vertebrae of felids to determine whether developmental interactions are a primary influence on vertebral modularity. Additionally, we analyze the magnitudes of both intravertebral integration and disparity to evaluate if level of integration varies along the vertebral column and, if so, whether integration and disparity are associated. Our results confirm the hypothesis of vertebral developmental modularity, with most presacral vertebrae displaying two modules. Exceptions are concentrated in the boundaries among traditional and functional regions, suggesting that intravertebral modularity may reflect larger\u2010scale modularity of the felid vertebral column. We further demonstrate that overall integration and disparity are highest in posterior vertebrae, thus providing an empirical example of integration potentially promoting greater morphological responses to selection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ede.12218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,17]],"date-time":"2017-02-17T06:49:11Z","timestamp":1487314151000},"page":"85-95","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Unravelling intravertebral integration, modularity and disparity in Felidae (Mammalia)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Marcela","family":"Randau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics Evolution and Environment University College London Darwin Building 218A, Gower Street London WC1E 6BT UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anjali","family":"Goswami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics Evolution and Environment University College London Darwin Building 218A, Gower Street London WC1E 6BT UK"},{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences University College London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/2041-210X.12511"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/2041-210X.12035"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","unstructured":"Adams D.
