| Preface page xi 1 The concept of the adaptive landscape What is an adaptive landscape？ Modelling evolution in adaptive landscapes 2 Modelling natural selection in adaptive landscapes Visualizing natural selection Modelling directional selection Modelling stabilizing selection Modelling disruptive selection Modelling less-than-optimum evolution Evolutionary topology of adaptive landscapes Why has evolution not ceased？ Modelling environmental and ecological change 3 Modelling evolutionary phenomena in adaptive landscapes Evolution in geological time Modelling convergent evolution Modelling iterative evolution Modelling speciation by cladogenesis Modelling hyperdimensionality in adaptive landscapes Are adaptive landscapes of heuristic value only？ 4 The concept of the theoretical morphospace What is a theoretical morphospace？ Procedural phases of theoretical morphospace analyses Creating theoretical morphospaces: an example 5 Analysing the role of adaptive evolution in theoretical morphospaces Functional analysis in theoretical morphospace Adaptive significance of existing and nonexistent ammonoid form Adaptive significance of existing and nonexistent brachiopod form Adaptive significance of existing and nonexistent plant form 6 Analysing evolutionary phenomena in theoretical morphospaces Analysing evolution in geological time Analysing convergent evolution in theoretical morphospace Analysing iterative evolution in theoretical morphospace Analysing biodiversity crises in theoretical morphospace 7 Evolutionary constraint in theoretical morphospace Potential causes of empty morphospace Modelling geometric constraint Modelling functional constraint Modelling phylogenetic constraint Modelling developmental constraint Analysing evolutionary constraint in theoretical morphospaces Mapping geometric constraint boundaries Mapping functional constraint boundaries Analysing intrinsic constraints Modelling the evolution of intrinsic constraints Evolutionary constraint and the phenomenon of convergent evolution Is the concept of phylogenetic constraint of heuristic value only？ 8 Evolutionary development in theoretical morphospace The concept of developmental constraint Transformation theory and theoretical morphospaces Epigenetic landscapes and theoretical morphospaces Analysing development in theoretical morphospace Theoretical developmental morphospaces？ How does an organism come to be？ 9 There is much to be done … Adaptive landscapes and theoretical morphospaces Current progress in theoretical morphospace analyses What more is to be done？ The re-emergence of the science of morphology References Index |
