Two classic references on related topics that may be useful: Life cycles (Chapman, 1978), by Peter Calow; and The ecological implications of body size (Cambridge, 1983), by Robert Henry Peters.

Thank you very much dear Felipe

There is also another interesting example with orchid bees, where authors found a body disparity correlated with genus diversification.

Ramirez SR, Roubik DW, Skov C, Pierce NE. Phylogeny, diversification patterns and historical biogeography of euglossine orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. 2010 Jun 29;100(3):552-72.

The short answer is yes - there is correlation and it is quite ubiquitous, although the strength of correlation varies widely depending on taxonomic level and the taxon in question.

Also, this book provides a detailed overview:

and other work by Felisa Smith could be useful too:
