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
The role of phenotypic plasticity in driving genetic evolution.
TL;DR: The role of phenotypic plasticity in stimulating evolution is assessed by considering two examples from birds: (i) the evolution of red and yellow plumage coloration due to carotenoid consumption; and (ii) the Evolution of foraging behaviours on islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Likelihood of ancestor states in adaptive radiation.
TL;DR: It is concluded that measures of uncertainty are useful and should always be provided, despite simplistic assumptions about the probabilistic models that underlie them, and if uncertainty is too high, reconstruction should be abandoned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directional selection and the evolution of breeding date in birds
TL;DR: A model is developed that shows how breeding date may have considerable additive genetic variance, appear to be under directional selection, and yet not evolve, and provides a general explanation for a persistent correlation of fitness with a variety of traits in natural populations.
