    Author's Comments:
    In this paper the idea of evolvability, which has concerned the source or generation of variation, is joined conceptually to the idea of versatility: variation in function and ecology. Additional new data analyses focus on specific case studies of (a) mammalian dentitions, in particular, elephant dentitions, and (b) evolutionary changes in body size, locomotor habits, and continental distribution relevant to the versatility and macroevolutionary persistence of the Sciuridae.
