2021年1月1日 · We present multiple lines of evidence for an important and measurable role of biotic interactions in shaping the evolution of communities and lineages on long timescales. Biotic interactions occur when organisms living in the same community directly or …

2004年1月1日 · Biotic homogenization, the gradual replacement of native biotas by locally expanding non-natives, is a global process that diminishes floral and faunal distinctions among regions. Although patterns of homogenization have been well studied, their specific ecological and evolutionary consequences remain unexplored.

Intensive research on the causes of both evolution and extinction has emphasized how both are largely driven by the physical environment, which is continually and whimsically shifting, only changing enough to cause speciation and extinction intermittently in evolutionary spasms of greater or lesser magnitude.

2015年6月7日 · In this paper, we briefly summarize theoretical work that shows that long-term evolution driven by biotic interactions is plausible, and point to empirical evidence from the fossil record that indicates that biotic forcing is important in macroevolution.

2018年8月1日 · We developed an individual-based model of clade diversification to predict macroevolutionary dynamics when resource competition, genetic differentiation, and landscape fluctuations interact....

Exploring the fascinating environmental and biotic histories of Southeast Asia, this is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers as well as environmental NGOs. Reviews I find this book to be a valuable compilation of the latest research on Southeast Asia’s biotic evolution and environmental change, and it would be a useful ...

2013年7月27日 · The next three chapters deal with the paleo-evolution of the region, and the following three chapters focus on plant biogeography. This is followed by chapters presenting studies of aquatic biotas, both marine and freshwater, and the final three chapters cover the very concrete problem of conservation rules and how to protect this megadiverse ...

Biological evolution is a creative development that proceeds from simple to complex as a result of system formation and biotic (bipolar, mutual and bi-hierarchical) feedback. Evolution results from: (1) Bipolar feedback: synergistic processes such as aggregation, endosymbiosis, pluricellularity, sexuality and sociality, as well as antagonistic ...
