Ecological diversification math. If the correlation between a and b is 1 0 then overall variance is not reduced at all. Entail estimating rates of lineage diversification speciation extinction that are modeled using birth death branching. If clade diversity is regulated by ecological factors then species richness may be independent of clade age and it may not be possible to infer the rate at which diversity arose.

María celeste scattolini viviana confalonieri andrés lira noriega silvia pietrokovsky maría marta cigliano diversification mechanisms in the andean grasshopper genus orotettix orthoptera.

It was predicted by simulations that in fluctuating environments heterogeneous populations can have a larger net growth rate than homogeneous populations. A review of past achievements current efforts and future promises. Create an ecospace framework functional trait space start by creating an ecospace framework with 9 characters. Develop a flexible bayesian framework for specifying diversification models where rates are constant vary.

Cold spring harbor symp. J math biol 68 1225 1248 crossref pubmed google scholar. 3 as factors 3 as ordered factors and 3 as ordered numeric types. Diversification rate is one of the most important metrics in macroecological and macroevolutionary studies.

Evol ecol 14 601 625. Bolnick di et al 2011 why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology. Supplemental information niche theory. This ecological strategy is known as bet hedging in population genetics.

In the past decade the theory of evolutionary branching and adaptive diversification has provided new perspectives for understanding the evolution of diversity caused by ecological interactions. General models of ecological diversification. In models of adaptive diversification the fitness landscapes change dynamically so that the likelihood of diversification into different phenotypic clusters increases. If the correlation between a and b is 0 0 the whole third term of the equation will be erased and the variance of the portfolio will simply be the first two terms a.

Analogously genetic diversification of a bacterial population could increase the chance that a subpopulation might be prepared for irregular adverse conditions boles et al 2004. Williams and wilkins 1934a. Boiling down the diversification math. Here i demonstrate that diversification analyses can be misleading when researchers assume that diversity increases unbounded through time as is typical in molecular phylogenetic studies.
