Journal ArticleDOI
The present status of the competitive exclusion principle.
TL;DR: The universality of competition has been increasingly questioned, so that other interspecific relationships (especially predation) are revaluated as possibly governing many natural population and inter-population processes.
Journal Article
Species Concepts and the Evolutionary Paradigm in Modern Nematology
TL;DR: An amalgamation of evolutionary and phylogenetic species concepts is advocated, along with a set of discovery operations designed to minimize the risk of making systematic errors, based on their sensitivity to systematic error.
Book ChapterDOI
Contemporary systematic philosophies
TL;DR: This phenetic school of taxonomy had its origins in a series of papers in which several workers attempted to quantify the processes and procedures used by taxonomists to classify organisms, of special interest was the process of weighting.
Book ChapterDOI
Evolutionary Pattern and Process in the Sister-Group Alcelaphini-Aepycerotini (Mammalia: Bovidae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that the causes of different kinds of evolution may be especially well studied in low-ranking sister-groups that include a fossil record plus extant survivors, and that are still in a phase of evolutionary radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary processes and evolutionary noise at the molecular level. I. Functional density in proteins.
TL;DR: It is proposed that evolutionarily significant substitutions may be identified by monitoring changes in functional density and weighted functional density, and it is shown that a certain category of changes in the internal environment of the organism can be integrated into the constantenvironment model for selection.
