Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

Rates of speciation and morphological evolution are correlated across the largest vertebrate radiation
Several evolutionary theories predict that rates of morphological change should be
positively associated with the rate at which new species arise. For example, the theory of …
