Iterative adaptive radiations of fossil canids show no evidence for diversity-dependent trait evolution.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Apr 2015

Slater Graham J

Abstract excerpt

A long-standing hypothesis in adaptive radiation theory is that ecological opportunity constrains rates of phenotypic evolution, generating a burst of morphological disparity early in clade history. Empirical support for the early burst model is rare in comparative data, however. One possible rea...
