The Major Features of Macroevolution
Systematic Biology, 2023Abstract Evolutionary dynamics operating across deep time leave footprints in the shapes of phylogenetic trees. For the last several decades, researchers have used increasingly large and robust phylogenies to study the evolutionary history of individual clades and to investigate the causes of the glaring disparities in diversity among ...

BioEssays, 2009
Abstract This article draws out the major philosophical issues that underlie macroevolution. This term means evolution that takes place at or above the level of the species. On the basis of the observation of fossil records, the history of life, and current biological populations scientists have concluded that organisms and taxa are ...

Energetic Macroevolution of Invertebrates
Biology Bulletin, 2018An analysis of research data and published data on comparable standard metabolism in invertebrates is carried out. It is shown that this parameter varies insignificantly within each family and most orders. The mean values of the comparable standard metabolism for orders are grouped around certain values.

IRREVERSIBILITY IN MODELS OF MACROEVOLUTION
Cybernetics and Systems, 2001The canonical example of a self-organized critical system exhibiting power law properties is the sandpile model of Per Bak, and in its evolutionary extension, a model of macroevolution. Avalanches of events, be they sandslides or mutational activities, are caused by a domino effect. The system's emerging new property, called self-organized criticality,

Ecotype, ecospecies, and macroevolution
Experientia, 1948The combined efforts of taxonomists and geneticists have succeeded to a considerable extent in solving that part of the problem of evolution which concerns the subspecific level. The detailed work of innumerable taxonomists following in the footsteps of Kleinschmidt K.

Macroevolution, or trans-specific evolution, refers to two different things in the literature on evolution. In discussions of phylogeny, it means phylogenetic branching pattern, or trends, seen at relatively high taxonomic levels (e.g., Stanley, 1979; Brooks and McLennan, 1991; Sober, 1993)—”any patterns that transcend species boundaries” (Lynch, 1991)—

On the macroevolution of antipredator defence
2015This thesis aims to improve our understanding of the macroevolutionary implications of antipredator defences, particularly with regard to how defence impacts biodiversity (including both species and trait diversity). To do this I took a phylogenetic comparative approach and used multiple study systems in an attempt to ensure the generality of my work ...
