TL;DR: The 100th anniversary of the British Ecological Society in 2013 is an opportune moment to reflect on the current status of ecology as a science and look forward to high-light priorities for future work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density-dependent cladogenesis in birds.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the distribution of speciation events through time for 45 clades of birds shows a model of density-dependent speciation in birds, whereby speciation slows as ecological opportunities and geographical space place limits on clade growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species Interactions Alter Evolutionary Responses to a Novel Environment
Diane Lawrence,Francesca Fiegna,Volker Behrends,Jacob G. Bundy,Albert B. Phillimore,Thomas Bell,Thomas Bell,Timothy G. Barraclough +7 more
TL;DR: Adaptation to a novel environment is altered by the presence of co-occurring species, which altered the functioning of the experimental ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity-dependence brings molecular phylogenies closer to agreement with the fossil record
Rampal S. Etienne,Bart Haegeman,Tanja Stadler,Tracy Aze,Paul Nicholas Pearson,Andy Purvis,Albert B. Phillimore +6 more
TL;DR: It is found, by likelihood maximization, that extinction is estimated most precisely if the rate of increase in the number of lineages in the phylogeny saturates towards the present or first decreases and then increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are subspecies useful in evolutionary and conservation biology
TL;DR: It is shown that 36% of avian subspecies are, in fact, phylogenetically distinct, and the overall level of congruence between taxonomic subspecies and molecular phylogenetic data is greater than previously thought.
