TL;DR: Two major hypotheses for the origin of the latitudinal diversity gradient are reviewed, including the time and area hypothesis and the diversification rate hypothesis, which hold that tropical regions diversify faster due to higher rates of speciation, or due to lower extinction rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology of the Semionotus elegans species group from the Early Jurassic part of the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America with comments on the Family Semionotidae (Neopterygii)
Paul E. Olsen,Amy R. McCune +1 more
TL;DR: The study of Semionotus and previous work on Watsonulus suggest new interpretations of characters and character polarities, and data support the hypothesis that theSemionotiformes as it is defined them are m...
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of the early Mesozoic Newark Supergroup by vertebrates, principally fishes
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of fossil fish together with floral and tetrapod evidence are used to develop an internal correlation of the strata of the early Mesozoic Newark Supergroup of eastern North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinventing species selection with molecular phylogenies.
Daniel L. Rabosky,Amy R. McCune +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that modern studies of diversification rates demonstrate that species selection is an important process influencing both the evolution of biological diversity and distributions of phenotypic traits within higher taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships of neopterygian fishes, inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences.
TL;DR: Provisional morphology-based constraints on the analysis of molecular data offer a practical means of integrating the two types of data and support the Amiidae + Lepisosteidae topology.
