Lineages with long durations are old and morphologically average: an analysis using multiple datasets.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2007

Liow Lee Hsiang

Abstract excerpt

Lineage persistence is as central to biology as evolutionary change. Important questions regarding persistence include: why do some lineages outlive their relatives, neither becoming extinct nor evolving into separate lineages? Do these long-duration lineages have distinctive ecological or morpho...
