“…Stigall et al . () examined BIME intervals from the geologic record and found strong congruence with preserved diversity patterns and model expectations. Based on this model, alternating intervals of dispersal and vicariance would be expected to contribute to facilitating speciation during the GOBE interval.…”

“…Alternating episodes of vicariance and dispersal speciation were recovered in the orthid Glyptorthis (Wright & Stigall ) as well as contemporary trilobite clades Thaleops, Tetralichinae and Homalonotidae (Stigall et al . ). These data link the broader scale patterns directly with the realm of speciation (Lam et al .…”

“…The process of diversity accumulation that integrates local speciation with global species‐richness has been formalized as a conceptual model based on the alternation of Biotic Immigration Events, or BIMEs, and vicariance intervals by Stigall et al . () as summarized in Figure . BIMEs are events in which taxa that evolved in one region immigrate and subsequently become established in a second, previously isolated, region.…”

The accumulation of diversity is dependent on the production (and subsequent continuation) of new species; thus, it is important to contextualize the Great Biodiversification Event (GOBE) as the sum of a series of individual speciation events. Studies of speciation processes are only beginning to emerge for the GOBE, but early analyses of brachiopods and other taxa suggest that such research questions are tractable given appropriate data sets and analyses. In order to understand the GOBE, it is important to move from correlating diversity trends with environmental changes to explicitly assessing how correlative Earth system processes can facilitate the process and mechanisms of speciation. Explicit consideration of the hierarchical structure and biogeographical aspects of evolutionary processes provides a dynamic perspective to analyse speciation. Biogeographical processes of dispersal and vicariance provide the link between local and global diversity levels, and oscillations between these two biogeographical modalities can generate an effective speciation dynamo. Geographical isolation due to palaeogeography, numerous interoceanic islands, tectonism, glacial–interglacial cycles and newly developed habitat heterogeneity were likely key factors in promoting speciation. Understanding the processes that produced the GOBE will require careful consideration of the oceanic, climatic and tectonic processes operating during the Early Palaeozoic as well as the speciation process itself.

“…Evidence from a variety of sources [45][46][47][48][49][50][51] uphold abiotic factors as important drivers of evolution and speciation. This has led to proposed alternatives to the RQH which focus on the physical environment as the main driver of evolution.…”

Getting somewhere with the Red Queen: chasing a biologically modern definition of the hypothesis

et al. 2018

The Red Queen hypothesis (RQH) is both familiar and murky, with a scope and range that has broadened beyond its original focus. Although originally developed in the palaeontological arena, it now encompasses many evolutionary theories that champion biotic interactions as significant mechanisms for evolutionary change. As such it de-emphasizes the important role of abiotic drivers in evolution, even though such a role is frequently posited to be pivotal. Concomitant with this shift in focus, several studies challenged the validity of the RQH and downplayed its propriety. Herein, we examine in detail the assumptions that underpin the RQH in the hopes of furthering conceptual understanding and promoting appropriate application of the hypothesis. We identify issues and inconsistencies with the assumptions of the RQH, and propose a redefinition where the Red Queen's reign is restricted to certain types of biotic interactions and evolutionary patterns occurring at the population level.
