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.

Trace metals in the open oceans: speciation modelling based on humic type ligands [PDF]
, 2011 The speciation of trace metals in the oceans is typically explained by invoking the concept of metal binding to specific organic ligands, but a lack of detailed knowledge about the ligands has impeded the formulation of comprehensive models to predict ...

Geographic range size and speciation in honeyeaters
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background Darwin and others proposed that a species’ geographic range size positively influences speciation likelihood, with the relationship potentially dependent on the mode of speciation and other contributing factors, including geographic setting ...

Little ecological divergence associated with speciation in two African rain forest tree genera [PDF]
, 2011 Background The tropical rain forests (TRF) of Africa are the second largest block of this biome after the Amazon and exhibit high levels of plant endemism and diversity. Two main hypotheses have been advanced to explain speciation processes that have led

Speciation and phylogeography in the cosmopolitan marine moon jelly, Aurelia sp. [PDF]
, 2005 Background: The cosmopolitan moon jelly Aurelia is characterized by high degrees of morphological and ecological plasticity, and subsequently by an unclear taxonomic status. The latter has been revised repeatedly over the last century, dividing the genus

Frequency-dependent selection predicts patterns of radiations and biodiversity. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Most empirical studies support a decline in speciation rates through time, although evidence for constant speciation rates also exists. Declining rates have been explained by invoking pre-existing niches, whereas constant rates have been attributed to ...

In search of the Goldilocks zone for hybrid speciation II: hard times for hybrid speciation? [PDF]
, 2023 Hybridization opens a unique window for observing speciation mechanisms and is a potential engine of speciation. One controversially discussed outcome of hybridization is homoploid hybrid speciation by reciprocal sorting, where a hybrid population ...

Genome-wide tests for introgression between cactophilic Drosophila implicate a role of inversions during speciation [PDF]
, 2015 K.L. was funded by a junior research fellowship from the National Environmental Research Council, UK (NE/I020288/1, NBAF659).Models of speciation-with-gene-flow have shown that the reduction in recombination between alternative chromosome arrangements ...
