Primes¶
- Adaptive Radiation
- The descendant-distribution signature (many lineages of recent common ancestry, most trophic variation arising within the window) is read directly from molecular phylogenies, and the replicate-radiation prediction holds: the same trophic niches are independently filled by convergent forms in different lakes, evidence that niche structure shapes the outcome more than lineage identity.
This sourceCanonical modern synthesis of adaptive radiation, treating cichlids, sticklebacks, anoles, and finches and the role of ecological opportunity and niche structure; documents replicate radiations and convergent niche-filling.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Schluter's book frames adaptive radiation in terms of ecological theory and lists cichlids among its cases, but its abstract does not itself document convergent trophic niche-filling across lakes.
“Here I aim to put the results of many studies together to ask whether they conform or contra st with the dominant ‘ecological’ theory of adaptive radiation that was formulated in the first half of the last century.”

- Outcome-Defined Adequacy
- In biology, adaptive radiation and functional morphology recognize kinds by ecological role rather than ancestry.

Mechanisms¶
- Experimental Cohort Split
- The studio deliberately built this as an instance of adaptive radiation — one lineage fanning into specialists across an opened space
This sourceDescribes adaptive radiation as a lineage multiplying into ecologically divergent specialists under ecological opportunity.

- Opportunity Landscape Mapping
- The discipline that guards against this is to treat every niche as a hypothesis that must survive the distinctness test, and to re-map as the space reveals which niches were real — the pattern of rapid diversification into genuinely open niches is well described in ecology as adaptive radiation.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 4 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
