Unraveling the diversification mechanisms of organisms is a fundamental and important macroevolutionary question regarding the diversity,ecological niche, and morphological divergence of life. However, many studies ha...
The theory of evolution was advanced by Darwin in 1859, prior to Mendel’s experiments demonstrating the particulate nature of inheritance. The modern synthesis was formulated in the early 1940s, well before the conce...
