Anagenesis, Cladogenesis, and Speciation on Islands

Anagenesis and cladogenesis are fundamental evolutionary concepts, but are increasingly being adopted as speciation models in the field of island biogeography. Here, we review the origin of the terms ‘anagenetic’ and ‘cladogenetic’ speciation, critique their utility, and finally suggest alternative...

Description
Summary:Anagenesis and cladogenesis are fundamental evolutionary concepts, but are increasingly being adopted as speciation models in the field of island biogeography. Here, we review the origin of the terms ‘anagenetic’ and ‘cladogenetic’ speciation, critique their utility, and finally suggest alternative terminology that better describes the geographical relationships of insular sister species.
