Abstract
One signature of adaptive radiation is a high level of trait change early during the diversification process and a plateau toward the end of the radiation. Although the study of the tempo of evolution has historically been the domain of paleontologists, recently developed phylogenetic tools allow for the rigorous examination of trait evolutioninatremendousdiversityoforganisms.Enemy-drivenadaptive radiation was a key prediction of Ehrlich and...
