Arvicolid Data (Arvicolidae, Rodentia) and Evolutionary Concepts

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology

Abstract

Simpson (1944, 1953) distinguished two major features of evolution, phyletic evolution or anagenesis (Rensch, 1954) on the one hand, and splitting or cladogenesis on the other. According to this concept, the two modes lead to the formation of new species either by gradual changes in lineages or by splitting of an ancestral species into two or more “sister” species.
