• Gliding and the Functional Origins of Flight: Biomechanical Novelty or Necessity? (2007, background): “Extreme habitat transitions, such as those between aquatic and terrestrial environments or between land and air, represent major themes in the history of life and involve both the co-option of existing traits as well as genuine “key” innovations (Vermeij 2006, Vermeij & Dudley 2000).”
• Phylogenetic niche conservatism, phylogenetic signal and the relationship between phylogenetic relatedness and ecological similarity among species. (2008, background): “For example, an aquatic lifestyle has repeatedly evolved within tetrapods (Vermeij & Dudley 2000).”
