Variability in the micro and macroevolutionary scales: a review of the patterns of morphological variability in the Cnidaria Medusozoa
(Society for Study of EvolutionGuarujá, SP, 2015)
Exceptional convergence on the macroevolutionary landscape in island lizard radiations
G. G. Simpson, one of the chief architects of evolutionary biology’s modern synthesis, proposed that diversification occurs on a macroevolutionary adaptive landscape, but landscape models are seldom used to study adaptive ...
Registering the evolutionary history in individual-based models of speciation
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Understanding the emergence of biodiversity patterns in nature is a central problem in biology. Theoretical models of speciation have addressed this question in the macroecological scale, but little has been done to connect ...
Underlying microevolutionary processes parallel macroevolutionary patterns in ancient neotropical mountains
(2021-09-01)
Aim: Ancient climatic fluctuations are invoked as the main driving force that generates the astonishing biodiversity in ancient mountains. As a result, endemism and spatial turnover are usually high and few species are ...
Evolution of Traditional Aerodynamic Variables in Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) within a Comprehensive Phylogenetic Framework
(Springer, 2019-10)
Chiroptera is the only group of mammals capable of powered flight. The mechanical basis of bat flight is well established, but evolution of its constituent aerodynamic variables remains poorly understood. Here, we determine ...
Discrete and morphometric traits reveal contrasting patterns and processes in the macroevolutionary history of a clade of scorpions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-04)
Many palaeontological studies have investigated the evolution of entire body plans, generally relying on discrete character-taxon matrices. In contrast, macroevolutionary studies performed by neontologists have mostly ...
How important is it to consider lineage diversification heterogeneity in macroevolutionary studies? Lessons from the lizard family Liolaemidae
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Macroevolutionary and biogeographical studies commonly apply multiple models to test state-dependent diversification. These models track the association between states of interest along a phylogeny, although many of them ...
