Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Claude Lévi-Strauss as a humanist forerunner of cultural macroevolution studies [PDF]
, 2022 Cross-cultural studies of humans using methods developed in evolutionary biology and comparative linguistics are flourishing. ‘Cultural macroevolution’ has great potential to address fundamental questions of cultural transformation and human history ...

Diversity-dependent effects probably influenced the diversification of species-rich crown ant subfamilies during the Cenozoic [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceDisentangling the influence of biotic interactions from abiotic environmental changes is a central challenge in macroevolution. While ants’ evolutionary history has been widely studied, often in relation to abiotic factors or plant associations, the role

The rise of birds and mammals: are microevolutionary processes sufficient for macroevolution?
, 2004 It is a basis of darwinian evolution that the microevolutionary mechanisms that can be studied in the present are sufficient to account for macroevolution.

Hunting Guild Mediates the Effects of Fecundity and Mortality on Sexual Size Dimorphism in Spiders
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Female red‐legged golden orb‐weaver (Trichonephila inaurata madagascarensis) with a much smaller male visible near the tip of the female abdomen, southwest Madagascar. Orb‐web weavers are characterised by relatively sedentary females occupying aerial orb webs and highly mobile mate‐searching males.

Royal Society Open ScienceThe timing of the origin of crown-angiosperms exemplifies the impact of competing approaches to establishing evolutionary timescales. Fossils of unequivocal crown-angiosperms are not known from before the Cretaceous, and yet molecular estimates range ...

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

Speciation and Macroevolution [PDF]
, 2008 Speciation is the process by which one or more species arises from a common ancestor, and “macroevolution” refers to patterns and processes at and above the species level – or, transitions in higher taxa, such as new families, phyla or genera ...
