• Phylogenetic trees do not reliably predict feature diversity (2014, background): “…models and to infer evolutionary events and ecological processes from the results, such as coevolution of particular features (e.g. Harvey & Pagel, 1991), phylogenetic niche conservatism (e.g. Losos, 2008), community assembly rules (e.g. Webb, 2000) or adaptive radiations (e.g. Yoder et al., 2010).”
• If Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus is ‘the most diverse vertebrate’, what is the lake charr Salvelinus namaycush? (2016, background): “This process results in morphological and ecological diversification that includes, among other things, increased trait variation, increased population size and broadened niche use, yielding subsequent local adaptations (Yoder et al. 2010).”
• Ecological drivers of the Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa (2012, positive): “A classic adaptive radiation reflects the exploitation of an ecological opportunity presented by underutilized resources (Losos 2010; Schluter 2000; Simpson 1953; Yoder et al. 2010).”
• The role of frugivory in the diversification of bats in the Neotropics (2012, background): “The colonization of new ecoregions may operate in conjunction with the shift to frugivory as an ecological opportunity that ultimately leads to speciation (Yoder et al., 2010).”
• Evolution of Oviposition Techniques in Stick and Leaf Insects (Phasmatodea) (2018, neutral): “, acquisition of key innovations, colonization of new habitat, extinction of antagonists (Yoder et al., 2010)] obtained in Euphasmatodea, and whereas there are certainly many selective factors at play (e.”
