Modeling the Population-Level Processes of Biodiversity Gain and Loss at Geological Timescales.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2015

Fortelius Mikael, Geritz Stefan, Gyllenberg Mats, Raia Pasquale, Toivonen Jaakko

Abstract excerpt

The path of species diversification is commonly observed by inspecting the fossil record. Yet, how species diversity changes at geological timescales relate to lower-level processes remains poorly understood. Here we use mathematical models of spatially structured populations to show that natural selection and gradual environmental change give rise to discontinuous phenotype changes that can be connected to...
