First sentence: Adaptive radiation - the rise of a diversity of ecological roles and attendant adaptations in different species within a lineage (see Osborn 1902; Huxley 1942; Simpson 1953; Mar 1970; Futuyama 1986; Givnish et al. 1994, 1995; Schuluter 1996a) - is one the most important processes bridging ecology and revolution.
