Accelerated body size evolution during cold climatic periods in the Cenozoic.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Apr 2017

Clavel Julien, Morlon Hélène

Abstract excerpt

How ecological and morphological diversity accumulates over geological time is much debated. Adaptive radiation theory has been successful in testing the effects of biotic interactions on the rapid divergence of phenotypes within a clade, but this theory ignores abiotic effects. The role of abiotic drivers on the tempo of phenotypic evolution has been tested only in a few lineages or small clades from the fossil...
