The Evolution of Hermaphroditism Among Animals

- 1 June 1969
The literature is reviewed to show the conditions under which hermaphroditism may have evolved and it is concluded that all thee explanations have some validity.
A Radical Solution to the Species Problem
- M. Ghiselin

- 1 December 1974
Hull (1974) has lately endorsed the idea that, from the point of view of evolutionary theory, biological species and monophyletic taxa are individuals, and Mayr (1969a), while not going so far, strongly emphasizes the point that species are more than just nominal classes.

A rapid sequencing method for ribosomal RNA was applied to the resolution of evolutionary relationships among Metazoa, finding that coelomates radiated rapidly into four groups: chordates, echinoderms, arthropods, and eucoelomate protostomes.

The difficulties of the homology concept can be overcome by treating phylogenetics and comparative biology in general as historical narrative.

Factors promoting marine invasions: A chemoecological approach
- E. Mollo, M. Gavagnin, G. Cimino
- Environmental ScienceProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 25 March 2008
A chemoecological approach is proposed here to define biotic conditions that promote biological invasions in terms of enemy escape and resource opportunities, and to propose aposematism in the former and dietary autonomy in producing defensive metabolites in the latter case as predisposing factors to the migration.
Chemical defense and evolutionary ecology of dorid nudibranchs and some other opisthobranch gastropods
- D. Faulkner, M. Ghiselin
- Environmental Science
- 1983
In the evolution of dorid nudibranchs and some other opisthobranch gastropods loss of the shell is correlated with the presence of defense mechanisms based upon chemicals derived from food, and food dependencies have constrained the adaptive radiation of oplsthobranchs.
