The adaptation front equation explains diversification hotspots and living-fossilization

The paper introduces an equation to model innovation-driven taxonomic turnovers and explains diversification hotspots and living-fossilization through evolutionary dynamics in trait space.

Evolutionary branching of function-valued traits under constraints

This paper derives conditions for evolutionary branching in function-valued traits under constraints using adaptive dynamics theory.

Evolutionary branching in distorted trait spaces

This study develops analytical conditions for evolutionary branching in distorted trait spaces by transforming coordinates to make mutational covariance matrices locally constant.
