Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental niche equivalency versus conservatism: quantitative approaches to niche evolution.
TL;DR: New methods for quantifying niche overlap that rely on a traditional ecological measure and a metric from mathematical statistics are developed and suggest various randomization tests that may prove useful in other areas of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
ENMTools: a toolbox for comparative studies of environmental niche models
TL;DR: The software quantifies similarity of ENMs generated using the program Maxent and uses randomization tests to compare observed similarity to that expected under different null hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography

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

TL;DR: This work describes how the wMel Wolbachia infection, introduced into the dengue vector Aedes aegypti from Drosophila melanogaster, successfully invaded two natural A. aagypti populations in Australia, reaching near-fixation in a few months following releases of wMel-infected A.A. ae Egyptian adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and speciation
TL;DR: The study of speciation has become one of the most active areas of evolutionary biology, and substantial progress has been made in documenting and understanding phenomena ranging from sympatric speciation and reinforcement to the evolutionary genetics of postzygotic isolation.
