Adaptive Radiations: Competition Rules for Galápagos Gastropods
New islands present the perfect opportunity for a species to get a fresh start and undergo adaptive radiation. For Galápagos land snails, both competition and resource diversity have together led to opportunity knocking twice.
متن کاملA new mechanism for recurrent adaptive radiations.
Models of adaptive radiation through intraspecific competition have attracted mounting attention. Here we show how extending such models in a simple manner, by including a quantitative trait under weak directional selection, naturally leads to rich macroevolutionary patterns involving recurrent adaptive radiations and extinctions. Extensive tests demonstrate the robustness of this finding to a ...
متن کاملTrait Evolution in Adaptive Radiations: Modeling and Measuring Interspecific Competition on Phylogenies.
The incorporation of ecological processes into models of trait evolution is important for understanding past drivers of evolutionary change. Species interactions have long been thought to be key drivers of trait evolution. However, models for comparative data that account for interactions between species are lacking. One of the challenges is that such models are intractable and difficult to exp...

A phylogenetic tree for the extant Hawaiian honeycreepers charts their diversification over the past 6 million years.
متن کاملAdaptive radiations: from field to genomic studies.
Adaptive radiations were central to Darwin's formation of his theory of natural selection, and today they are still the centerpiece for many studies of adaptation and speciation. Here, we review the advantages of adaptive radiations, especially recent ones, for detecting evolutionary trends and the genetic dissection of adaptive traits. We focus on Aquilegia as a primary example of these advant...
