The ecology and evolution of key innovations.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Feb 2023

Miller Aryeh H, Stroud James T, Losos Jonathan B

Abstract excerpt

The idea of 'key innovations' has long been influential in theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding adaptive diversification. Despite originally revolving around traits inducing major ecological shifts, the key innovation concept itself has evolved, conflating lineage diversification with trait-dependent ecological shifts. In this opinion article we synthesize the history of the term, clarify the...
