Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

For centuries, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have used images such as drawings,
paintings and photographs to record and quantify the shapes and patterns of life. With the …

Evolvability is best addressed from a multi-level, macroevolutionary perspective through a
comparative approach that tests for among-clade differences in phenotypic diversification in …

A fuller understanding of the role of developmental bias in sha** large‐scale evolutionary
patterns requires integrating bias (the probability distribution of variation accessible to an …

The relationship between the evolutionary dynamics observed in contemporary populations
(microevolution) and evolution on timescales of millions of years (macroevolution) has been …

Many different macroevolutionary models can produce the same observations. Despite
efforts in building more complex and realistic models, it may still be difficult to distinguish the …

The concept of evolvability—the capacity of a population to produce and maintain
evolutionarily relevant variation—has become increasingly prominent in evolutionary …

Planktic foraminifera are commonly used for first-order age control in deep-sea sediments
from low-latitude regions based on a robust tropical–subtropical zonation scheme. Although …

Allometric scaling describes the relationship of trait size to body size within and among taxa.
The slope of the population‐level regression of trait size against body size (ie. static …

Highly resolved palaeontological records can address a key question about our current
climate crisis: how long will it be before the biosphere rebounds from our actions? There are …
