Ecological opportunity and incumbency in the diversification of repeated continental colonizations by muroid rodents.

Systematic biology - 1 Nov 2013

Schenk John J, Rowe Kevin C, Steppan Scott J

Abstract excerpt

Why some clades are more species-rich than others is a central question in macroevolution. Most hypotheses explaining exceptionally diverse clades involve the emergence of an ecological opportunity caused by a major biogeographic transition or evolution of a key innovation. The radiation of muroi...
