Adaptive radiation versus 'radiation'and 'explosive diversification': why conceptual distinctions are fundamental to understanding evolution
TJ Givnish - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Adaptive radiation is the rise of a diversity of ecological roles and role‐specific adaptations
within a lineage. Recently, some researchers have begun to use 'adaptive radiation'or …
