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 …

Towards a genetic theory of island biogeography: Inferring processes from multidimensional community‐scale data
Abstract Background MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography has been a
foundation for obtaining testable predictions from models of community assembly and for …

[HTML][HTML] The relationship between geographic range size and rates of species diversification
Range size is a universal characteristic of every biological species, and is often assumed to
affect diversification rate. There are strong theoretical arguments that large-ranged species …

Toward a semi-supervised learning approach to phylogenetic estimation
Abstract Models have always been central to inferring molecular evolution and to
reconstructing phylogenetic trees. Their use typically involves the development of a …

Trait-mediated speciation and human-driven extinctions in proboscideans revealed by unsupervised Bayesian neural networks
Species life-history traits, paleoenvironment, and biotic interactions likely influence
speciation and extinction rates, affecting species richness over time. Birth-death models …

Sexually divergent selection, allometric constraints, and the evolution of sexual dimorphism in cichlids from Lake Tanganyika
M Tsuboi, T Takahashi - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2024 - academic.oup.com
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is widely acknowledged as a manifestation of sex-
specific genetic architecture. Although empirical studies suggested that sexual dimorphism …

Matrix-analytic methods for the evolution of species trees, gene trees, and their reconciliation
We consider the reconciliation problem, in which the task is to find a mapping of a gene tree
into a species tree, so as to maximize the likelihood of such fitting, given the available data …

Ecological determinants of Cope's rule and its inverse
S Roy, Å Brännström, U Dieckmann - Communications Biology, 2024 - nature.com
Cope's rule posits that evolution gradually increases the body size in lineages. Over the last
decades, two schools of thought have fueled a debate on the applicability of Cope's rule by …
