Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

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

The process of adaptive radiation—the proliferation of species from a single ancestor and
diversification into many ecologically different forms—has been of great interest to …

Competition among species and entire clades can impact species diversification and
extinction, which can shape macroevolutionary patterns. The fossil record shows successive …

Snakes of the cosmopolitan family Viperidae comprise around 329 venomous species
showing a striking heterogeneity in species richness among lineages. While the subfamily …

Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures (BAMM) is a statistical framework that uses
reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to infer complex macroevolutionary dynamics of …

The foundations of several disciplines can be expressed as simple quantitative laws, for
example, Newton's laws or the laws of thermodynamics. Here I present five laws derived …

With~ 14,000 extant species, ants are ubiquitous and of tremendous ecological importance.
They have undergone remarkable diversification throughout their evolutionary history …

Despite a conceptual understanding that evolution and species interactions are inextricably
linked, it remains challenging to study ecological and evolutionary dynamics together over …

The region with the highest marine biodiversity on our planet is known as the Coral Triangle
or Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA),. Its enormous biodiversity has long attracted the …
