Convergence in Multispecies Interactions
(Elsevier BV, 2016)The concepts of convergent evolution and community convergence highlight how selective pressures can shape unrelated organisms or communities in similar ways. We propose a related concept, convergent interactions, to ... -
Convergent evolution of phenotypic integration and its alignment with morphological diversification in Caribbean Anolis ecomorphs
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)The adaptive landscape and the G-matrix are keys concepts for understanding how quantitative characters evolve during adaptive radiation. In particular, whether the adaptive landscape can drive convergence of phenotypic ... -
Shared and Unique Features of Diversification in Greater Antillean Anolis Ecomorphs
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)Examples of convergent evolution suggest that natural selection can often produce predictable evolutionary outcomes. However, unique histories among species can lead to divergent evolution regardless of their shared selective ...
