Adaptive radiation: contrasting theory with data.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 6 Feb 2009

Gavrilets Sergey, Losos Jonathan B

Abstract excerpt

Biologists have long been fascinated by the exceptionally high diversity displayed by some evolutionary groups. Adaptive radiation in such clades is not only spectacular, but is also an extremely complex process influenced by a variety of ecological, genetic, and developmental factors and strongly dependent on historical contingencies. Using modeling approaches, we identify 10 general patterns concerning the...
