Phylogenetic niche conservatism, phylogenetic signal and the relationship between phylogenetic relatedness and ecological similarity among species
JB Losos - Ecology letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Ecologists are increasingly adopting an evolutionary perspective, and in recent years, the

Evolution of stenophagy in spiders (Araneae): evidence based on the comparative analysis of spider diets
Stenophagy (narrow diet breadth) represents an extreme of trophic specialization in
