Biology:Nonadaptive radiation

From HandWiki
Short description: Type of evolutionary radiation

Nonadaptive radiations are a subset of evolutionary radiations (or species flocks) that are characterized by diversification that is not driven by resource partitioning.[1][2][3][4] The species that are a part of a nonadaptive radiation will tend to have very similar niches, and in many (though not all) cases will be morphologically similar.[4] Nonadaptive radiations are driven by nonecological speciation.[2][4] In many cases, this nonecological speciation is allopatric, and the organisms are dispersal-limited such that populations can be geographically isolated within a landscape with relatively similar ecological conditions.[4] For example, Albinaria land snails on islands in the Mediterranean[1] and Batrachoseps salamanders from California [2] each include relatively dispersal-limited, and closely related, ecologically similar species often have minimal range overlap, a pattern consistent with allopatric, nonecological speciation. In other cases, such as certain damselflies[3] and crickets from Hawaii,[5] there can be range overlap in closely related species, and it is likely that sexual selection (and species recognition) plays a role in maintaining (and perhaps giving rise to) species boundaries.[4]
