This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Lunch Seminar Series.

Preview: “Bridging micro and macroevolution” is a topic frequently discussed in the comparative literature that has multiple meanings to different investigators. In this talk, I will present results from my dissertation research, where we explore whether demographic properties with ecological significance (sexual selection intensity and metapopulation-level persistence) represent a conceptual bridge connecting the temporal dynamics of populations and clades. Our findings suggest demographic properties have nontrivial variation at intraspecific, biogeographic, and phylogenetic levels, and raise questions about the extent to which population-level processes observed at “the present day" provide explanations for large-scale patterns of biodiversity.
