Geo-evolutionary feedbacks: integrating rapid evolution and landscape change
We develop a conceptual framework for geo-evolutionary feedbacks which describes the
mutual interplay between landscape change and the evolution of traits of organisms residing …

The Bretskyan hierarchy, multiscale allopatry, and geobiomes—on the nature of evolutionary things
A Spiridonov, N Eldredge - Paleobiology, 2024 - cambridge.org
The process of evolution and the structures it produces are best understood in the light of
hierarchy theory. The biota traditionally is described by either the genealogical Linnaean …
