Microevolution and macroevolution are not governed by the same processes
In Francisco José Ayala & Robert Arp (eds.), Contemporary debates in philosophy of biology. Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell. pp. 180--193 (2009)
Abstract
This chapter contains sections titled: The Domains of Microevolution and Macroevolution Changing Meanings of Macroevolution An Expanding Hierarchy of Selection Origins of Novelty Mass Extinctions Is Evolution Uniformitarian? Conclusions Postscript: Counterpoint References.
domains of microevolution and macroevolution meaning of the term macroevolution distinctions between micro‐ and macroevolution ‐ reflecting conflation of rates expanding hierarchy of selection Late Cretaceous marine mollusks ‐ battleground for species selection Simons' argument ‐ shorter‐term morphological variability importance of hierarchical view of evolution Linnean ranks ‐ employed as index of morphological uniqueness or innovation mass extinctions macroevolution and microevolution ‐ aspects of evolution of life
