Abstract: Although much of extant diversity is probably the product of evolutionary radiations, the special case of adaptive radiations has not yet been thoroughly explored. Adaptive radiations are postulated to occur when a lineage is exposed… read more here.

Diversity spurs diversification in ecological communities

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15810
Abstract: Diversity is a fundamental, yet threatened, property of ecological systems. The idea that diversity can itself favour diversification, in an autocatalytic process, is very appealing but remains controversial. Here, we study a generalized model of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syy070
Abstract: Abstract Phylogenies recurrently demonstrate that oceanic island systems have been home to rapid clade diversification and adaptive radiations. The existence of adaptive radiations posits a central role of natural selection causing ecological divergence and speciation,… read more here.

Ecological opportunity and predator–prey interactions: linking eco-evolutionary processes and diversification in adaptive radiations

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2550
Abstract: Much of life's diversity has arisen through ecological opportunity and adaptive radiations, but the mechanistic underpinning of such diversification is not fully understood. Competition and predation can affect adaptive radiations, but contrasting theoretical and empirical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14405
Abstract: Adaptive radiations are characterized by adaptive diversification intertwined with rapid speciation within a lineage resulting in many ecologically specialized, phenotypically diverse species. It has been proposed that adaptive radiations can originate from ancestral lineages with… read more here.

Diversification rates indicate an early role of adaptive radiations at the origin of modern echinoid fauna

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0194575
Abstract: Evolutionary radiations are fascinating phenomena corresponding to a dramatic diversification of taxa and a burst of cladogenesis over short periods of time. Most evolutionary radiations have long been regarded as adaptive but this has seldom… read more here.
