Does Climate Change Pose a Threat to the Guild Mimicry System of Australian Orchids?

Kolanowska, Marta; Scaccabarozzi, Daniela
Ecology And Evolution

I’ve reread the paper. I think one missing point, is clarifying that evolution is NOT synonymous with Natural Selection. Evolutionary processes can equally be assigned to Genetic Drift and Natural Selection. Although the first is rarely studied (and more difficult to show as it is the null model)

This a nice paper, the misconception presented here are often the result of studying “patterns”instead of “processes”, what the authors mention as micro evolution. I appreciate the effort!! Clearly an excellent paper for a discussion with students.

"Common misconceptions of speciation", nice! I have to read this, definitely will use this image!

Evolutionary ecologist must integrate the whole pipeline from reductionist (Chemical interaction) to paleo-history to understand processes that impact patterns (the past and present diversity)

I need one if those also…. Always coming up with new hypothesis before publishing the previous results….🤔
