A Morphological Interpretation of Traits

Have a look at this short video. Do you think it works?

It is supposed to show that new species form when traits are subject to trade-offs. However, in the actual model, those traits govern resource use, but here they are illustrated as morphological traits: tails, wings, legs, whiskers, ears, and eyes. The traits vary over time, resulting in four different species.
Now that you have watched it, my question is whether the nature of the traits in the model is adequately conveyed? What do you think?
The data is from our new paper, Trade-offs drive resource specialization and the gradual establishment of ecotypes in BMC Evolutionary Biology.
