Evolutionary speed limited by water in arid Australia.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2010

Goldie Xavier, Gillman Len, Crisp Mike, Wright Shane

Abstract excerpt

The covariation of biodiversity with climate is a fundamental pattern in nature. However, despite the ubiquity of this relationship, a consensus on the ultimate cause remains elusive. The evolutionary speed hypothesis posits direct mechanistic links between ambient temperature, the tempo of micro-evolution and, ultimately, species richness. Previous research has demonstrated faster rates of molecular evolution in...
