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 …

Environment has a critical role in the natural selection process for Darwinian evolution. The
primary molecular component currently considered for neo-Darwinian evolution involves …

Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …

Evolutionary theory has gained tremendous insight from studies of adaptive radiations. High
rates of speciation, morphological divergence, and hybridization, combined with low …

Adaptive radiation refers to diversification from an ancestral species that produces
descendants adapted to use a great variety of distinct ecological niches. In this review, I …

We suggest that human culture exhibits key Darwinian evolutionary properties, and argue
that the structure of a science of cultural evolution should share fundamental features with …

Radiations of ecologically and morphologically differentiated sympatric species can exhibit
the pattern of a burst of diversification, which might be produced by ecological divergence …

Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have produced landmark
studies of the Galápagos finches first made famous by Charles Darwin. In How and Why …

The interactions between plants and their animal pollinators and seed dispersers have
moulded much of Earth's biodiversity,,. Recently, it has been shown that these mutually …

Understanding the rate at which new species form is a key question in studying the evolution
of life on earth. Here we review our current understanding of speciation rates, focusing on …
