Microevolutionary, macroevolutionary, ecological and taxonomical implications of punctuational theories of adaptive evolution.

Biology direct - 16 Jan 2013

Flegr Jaroslav

Abstract excerpt

Punctuational theories of evolution suggest that adaptive evolution proceeds mostly, or even entirely, in the distinct periods of existence of a particular species. The mechanisms of this punctuated nature of evolution suggested by the various theories differ. Therefore the predictions of particular theories concerning various evolutionary phenomena also differ.Punctuational theories can be subdivided into five...
