What is the tempo and mode of evolutionary change and what processes drive this change?
Over 110 years after Darwin introduced the idea of natural selection in his book The Origin of Species, two young paleontologists put forward a controversial new theory of the tempo and mode of evolutionary change.
This entry first formulates 'Darwin's Darwinism' in terms of five philosophically distinctive themes: (i) probability and chance, (ii) the nature, power and scope of selection, (iii) adaptation and teleology, (iv) nominalism vs. essentialism about species and (v) the tempo and mode of evolutionary change.
Molecular data combined with well sampled fossil records provide opportunities to test existing evolutionary hypotheses and extend our understanding of both the tempo and mode of evolutionary diversification.
Although evolutionary biologists have explained many attributes of biodiversity in terms of extrinsic adaptive challenges, much less is known about the intrinsic mechanisms that define the tempo and mode of evolutionary change itself.

The expansion of reference clone resources are particularly important not only in identifying other potential alleles and gene duplicates that are so pervasive in the pseudotetraploid salmonids, but also in studying fundamental genetic rates and modes of evolutionary change.
It is tempting to reconstruct the timing and mode of interesting evolutionary, ecological, and biogeographic events on a well-resolved tree of extant taxa.
To explore the tempo and mode of this evolutionary diversification, we unite a new multi-locus phylogeny of the Caribbean Faviidae with new stratigraphic compilations from the fossil record.
Accurately estimating the timing and mode of gene duplications along the evolutionary history of species can provide invaluable information about underlying mechanisms by which the genomes of organisms evolved and the genes with novel functions arose.
Accurately estimating the timing and mode of gene duplications along the evolutionary history of species can provide invaluable information about underlying mechanisms by which the genomes of organisms evolved and the genes with novel functions arose [ 10].
The burden is heavier here than on other works that make similar assumptions (e.g. the works of Freeland and colleagues) but in which no claims about evolutionary trajectories or the mode of evolutionary exploration are made.
