Founder niche constrains evolutionary adaptive radiation.
Adaptive radiation of a lineage into a range of organisms with different niches underpins the evolution of life's diversity. Although the role of the environment in shaping adaptive radiation is well established, theory predicts that the evolvability and niche of the founding ancestor are also of importance. Direct demonstration of a causal link requires resolving the independent effects of the...
متن کاملAdaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism
Adaptive radiation refers to diversification from an ancestral species that produces descendants adapted to use a great variety of distinct ecological niches. In this review, I examine two aspects of adaptive radiation: first, that it results from ecological opportunity and, second, that it is deterministic in terms of its outcome and evolutionary trajectory. Ecological opportunity is usually a...
متن کاملNiche Occupation Limits Adaptive Radiation in Experimental Microcosms
Adaptive radiations have played a key role in the evolution of biological diversity. The breadth of adaptive radiation in an invading lineage is likely to be influenced by the availability of ecological niches, which will be determined to some extent by the diversity of the resident community. High resident diversity may result in existing ecological niches being filled, inhibiting subsequent a...
متن کاملNiche Search : an Evolutionary Algorithm
In this paper we describe niche search, a genetic-based opti-misation approach which is characterised by an evolutionary search on two layers: the individual layer (which is comparable to search described in other genetic algorithms), and the niche layer. Neither of these searches is directed: both individuals and niches evolve based on the selection of the ttest. The numerical results obtained...
متن کاملEvolutionary rates in the adaptive radiation of beetles on plants.
Herbivorous insects and other small consumers are often specialized both in use of particular host taxa and in use of particular host tissues. Such consumers also often seem to show consistent differences in the rates of evolution of these two dimensions of host use, implying common processes, but this has been little studied. Here we quantify these rates of change in host use evolution in a ma...
