Abstract

Biogeographical factors that influence phenotypic divergence patterns in birds were studied. No significant relationship was found between species age and subspecies richness in birds, however high subspecies richness was found to be associated with large breeding range size.

2. Body size diversification in Anolis: novel environment and island effects

Abstract

A phylogenetic comparative approach is used for testing the affect of novel environments versus insularity on rates of body size and sexual size dimorphism diversification in Anolis. The elevated diversifying selection due to ecological release has driven high rates of body size diversification in both small-island and mainland novel environments.
