Diversification on an ecologically constrained adaptive landscape.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2008

Wellborn Gary A, Broughton Richard E

Abstract excerpt

We used phylogenetic analysis of body-size ecomorphs in a crustacean species complex to gain insight into how spatial complexity of ecological processes generates and maintains biological diversity. Studies of geographically widespread species of Hyalella amphipods show that phenotypic evolution is tightly constrained in a manner consistent with adaptive responses to alternative predation regimes. A molecular...
