The processes that give rise to species richness gradients are not well understood, but may
be linked to resource-based limits on the number of species a region can support …

The intersection of development and evolution has always harbored conceptual issues, but
many of these are on display in contemporary evolutionary developmental biology (evo …

The last decades have seen frequent calls for a more extended evolutionary synthesis (EES)
