Kinetic effects of temperature on rates of genetic divergence and speciation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 13 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

Latitudinal gradients of biodiversity and macroevolutionary dynamics are prominent yet poorly understood. We derive a model that quantifies the role of kinetic energy in generating biodiversity. The model predicts that rates of genetic divergence and speciation are both governed by metabolic rate and therefore show the same exponential temperature dependence (activation energy of approximately 0.65 eV; 1 eV =...
