Deep-Time Demographic Inference Suggests Ecological Release as Driver of Neoavian Adaptive Radiation
Assessing the applicability of theory to major adaptive radiations in deep time represents an extremely difficult problem in evolutionary biology. Neoaves, which includes 95% of living birds, is believed to have undergone a period of rapid diversification roughly coincident with the Cretaceous–Paleo...
