Linking interspecific interactions (eg, mutualism, competition, predation, parasitism) to
macroevolution (evolutionary change on deep timescales) is a key goal in biology. The role …

It is easy to claim that the fossil record says nothing about speciation because the biological
species concept (which relies on interbreeding) cannot be applied to it and genetic studies …

Several evolutionary theories predict that rates of morphological change should be
positively associated with the rate at which new species arise. For example, the theory of …

The world's most revered and eloquent interpreter of evolutionary ideas offers here a work of
explanatory force unprecedented in our time—a landmark publication, both for its historical …

We believe that punctuational change dominates the history of life: evolution is concentrated
in very rapid events of speciation (geologically instantaneous, even if tolerably continuous in …

Whether body size will increase or decrease in an evolving population depends on whether
mean body size is larger or smaller than the optimum for the population. Cope's Rule, the …

Gradual evolutionary change by natural selection operates so slowly within established
species that it cannot account for the major features of evolution. Evolutionary change tends …
