Studying the evolutionary significance of thermal adaptation in ectotherms: The diversification of amphibians' energetics.

Journal of thermal biology - 1 Aug 2017

Nespolo Roberto F, Figueroa Julio, Solano-Iguaran Jaiber J

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental problem in evolutionary biology is the understanding of the factors that promote or constrain adaptive evolution, and assessing the role of natural selection in this process. Here, comparative phylogenetics, that is, using phylogenetic information and traits to infer evolutionary processes has been a major paradigm . In this study, we discuss Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models (OU) in the context of thermal...
