Speciational view of macroevolution: are micro and macroevolution decoupled? [PDF]

Europhysics Letters (EPL), 2006
We introduce a simple computational model that, with a microscopic dynamics driven by natural selection and mutation alone, allows the description of true speciation events.

Cultural macroevolution matters [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Evolutionary thinking can be applied to both cultural microevolution and macroevolution. However, much of the current literature focuses on cultural microevolution. In this article, we argue that the growing availability of large cross-cultural datasets facilitates the use of computational methods derived from evolutionary biology to answer broad-scale

Memory in Trait Macroevolution [PDF]

The American Naturalist, 2019
AbstractThe history of a trait within a lineage may influence its future evolutionary trajectory, but macroevolutionary theory of this process is not well developed. For example, consider the simple binary trait of living in cave versus surface habitat.

Macroevolution: Dynamics of Diversity [PDF]

Current Biology, 2011
The fossil record typically exhibits very dynamic patterns of innovation, diversification and extinction. In contrast, molecular phylogenies suggest smoother patterns of evolutionary change. Several new studies reconcile this difference and reveal more about the mechanisms behind macroevolutionary change.

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity [PDF]

, 2008
Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutral Theory’, which however remains an ...

Metascientific views: Challenge and opportunity for philosophy of biology in practice [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper I take evolutionary biology as an example to reflect on the role of philosophy and on the transformations that philosophy is constantly stimulated to do in its own approach when dealing with science.

Hierarchy Theory of Evolution and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: Some Epistemic Bridges, Some Conceptual Rifts [PDF]

, 2018
Contemporary evolutionary biology comprises a plural landscape of multiple co-existent conceptual frameworks and strenuous voices that disagree on the nature and scope of evolutionary theory.

SPECIATION AND MACROEVOLUTION [PDF]

Evolution, 1982
Species and higher taxa represent, phenomenologically, two very different levels in the hierarchical organization of the living world. Ever since there has been a concept of evolution, there has been the problem how one can get from the species level to that of the higher categories.
