The Evolution of Key Innovations

Skibidi thoughts on key innovations in ecology and evolution are lowkey mind-blowing. The goon Alden Miller dropped knowledge in 1949, sparking a dank convo about how traits can unlock new ecological zones. This is sigma level stuff, showing how a single trait can catapult a lineage into an adaptive zone, leading to a wild ride of diversification. But wait, the concept has evolved, becoming a bit of a toilet with too many ideas mixed in. We need to edge back to Miller's roots, focusing on those unique features that let species access new habitats. It is time to ship an integrative approach, blending experimental form and function with natural history.
