Adaptive evolution is common in rapid evolutionary radiations

Abstract:

One of the most long-standing and important mysteries in evolutionary biology is why biological diversity is so unevenly distributed across space and taxonomic lineages. Nowhere is this disparity more evident than in the multitude of rapid evolutionary radiations found on oceanic islands and mountain ranges across the globe [1-5]. The evolutionary processes driving these rapid diversification events remain unclear [6-8]. Recent genome-wide studies suggest that natural selection may be frequen...
