Peoples N, Burns M, Mihalitsis M, Wainwright P
Nature
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 40011783
Rates of lineage diversification vary considerably across the tree of life, often as a result of evolutionary innovations. Although the ability to produce new traits can vary between clades and...

Evolution
. 2024 Nov;
79(2):261-279.
PMID: 39560065
In functional systems composed of many traits, selection for specialized function can induce trait evolution by acting directly on individual components within the system, or indirectly through networks of trait...

Evol Lett
. 2024 Sep;
8(5):669-679.
PMID: 39328290
A decline in diversity from the equator to the poles is a common feature of Earth's biodiversity. Here, we examine body shape diversity in marine fishes across latitudes and explore...

Am Nat
. 2023 Nov;
202(6):830-850.
PMID: 38033182
AbstractMigration can have a profound influence on rates and patterns of phenotypic evolution. Diadromy is the migration between marine and freshwater habitats for feeding and reproduction that can require individuals...

Burns M, Knouft J, Dillman C
Evolution
. 2023 Nov;
78(2):253-266.
PMID: 37952199
Understanding why some clades diversify greatly while others do not is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Both abiotic and biotic factors are important in driving unequal morphological diversity across...

Burns M, Collyer M, Sidlauskas B
Evolution
. 2023 Jan;
77(3):746-762.
PMID: 36626807
Evolutionary biology has long striven to understand why some lineages diversify exceptionally while others do not. Most studies have focused on how extrinsic factors can promote differences in diversification dynamics,...

de Brito V, Betancur-R R, Burns M, Buser T, Conway K, Fontenelle J, et al.
Integr Comp Biol
. 2022 Jun;
62(2):406-423.
PMID: 35675320
Evolutionary transitions between marine and freshwater ecosystems have occurred repeatedly throughout the phylogenetic history of fishes. The theory of ecological opportunity predicts that lineages that colonize species-poor regions will have...

Melo B, Sidlauskas B, Near T, Roxo F, Ghezelayagh A, Ochoa L, et al.
Syst Biol
. 2021 Jun;
71(1):78-92.
PMID: 34097063
The Neotropics harbor the most species-rich freshwater fish fauna on the planet, but the timing of that exceptional diversification remains unclear. Did the Neotropics accumulate species steadily throughout their long...

Egan J, Buser T, Burns M, Simons A, Hundt P
Integr Org Biol
. 2021 May;
3(1):obab004.
PMID: 33937629
Marine intertidal zones can be harsher and more dynamic than bordering subtidal zones, with extreme and temporally variable turbulence, water velocity, salinity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels. Contrasting environmental conditions...

Evolution
. 2021 Jan;
75(3):688-705.
PMID: 33491179
Convergent evolution is often interpreted as evidence of natural selection favoring an optimal phenotype during adaptation. Morphological convergence is frequently found among lineages that converge on diet, but most studies...
