Speciation in Birds and More
but then leaves us with the vague and unsatisfying conclusion: “The influence of temperature on unionoids is thus pervasive and complicated, so it is not easy to specify the optimal thermal regime for a unionoid” (p. 55). This is mostly a writing style issue, but it does tend to overstate somewhat the extent of our ignorance about several topics in mussel ecology. Part II also contains a number...
متن کاملIce sheets promote speciation in boreal birds.
The premise that Pleistocene ice ages played an important role in generating present-day species diversity has been challenged by genetic data indicating that most of the youngest terrestrial species on Earth coalesced long before major glacial advances. However, study has been biased towards faunas distributed at low latitudes that were not directly fragmented by advancing ice sheets. Using mi...
متن کاملPicture perception in birds: Perspective from primatologists
In their target article, Weisman and Spetch (2010) question the validity of pictures to present real things to birds, mostly because pictures are primarily made for the human eye, and not for the eye of birds with different functional properties. Here, we argue that this issue of picture validity is similarly critical for primatologists, even when they study the “higher” nonhuman primates with ...
متن کاملCan reinforcement complete speciation?
Hybridization is common in nature, even between "good" species. This observation poses the question of why reinforcement is not always successful in leading to the evolution of complete reproductive isolation. To study this question, we developed a new "quasi-linkage disequilibrium" (QLD) approximation to obtain the first analytic results for the evolution of modifiers that increase mate discri...
متن کاملEngines of speciation: a comparative study in birds of prey.
Sexual selection as a promoter of speciation has received much attention in recent years, but has produced highly equivocal evidence. Here, I test whether sexual conflict is related to species richness among genera in accipitrid birds of prey using phylogenetically controlled comparative analyses. Increased species richness was associated with both 'male-win' as well as 'female-win' situations,...
