Distinct Responses of Elasmobranchs and Ray-Finned Fishes to Long-Term Global Change
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Both biotic and abiotic factors likely played a role in influencing the diversification patterns of clades. Although the role of environmental forcing on the long-term evolution of biodiversity has been explored for invertebrate clades, little is known ...

Diversification and Evolutionary Dynamics in Tropical Montane Regions
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of montane species provides critical insights into the drivers of adaptation and diversification. Topographic complexity, a defining feature of many mountainous landscapes, promotes ecological and geographic isolation, often accelerating speciation rates.

Is Host Filtering the Main Driver of Phylosymbiosis across the Tree of Life?
mSystems, 2018 Host-associated microbiota composition can be conserved over evolutionary time scales. Indeed, closely related species often host similar microbiota; i.e., the composition of their microbiota harbors a phylogenetic signal, a pattern sometimes referred to

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2574-2587, March 2026.Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3137-3148, March 2026.Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

Asymptotic genealogy of a critical branching process
, 2005 Consider a continuous-time binary branching process conditioned to have population size n at some time t, and with a chance p for recording each extinct individual in the process.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionHost-parasite associations provide very useful models to study adaptive processes. We investigated the interaction between carnivorous marine gastropods, the Ovulidae or egg-cowries, and their cnidarian food targets. Ovulidae (Fleming, 1828),

Chance in the Modern Synthesis [PDF]
, 2016 The modern synthesis in evolutionary biology is taken to be that period in which a consensus developed among biologists about the major causes of evolution, a consensus that informed research in evolutionary biology for at ...
