Duane's hypothesis

ID: duane-s-hypothesis

Duane's hypothesis is a concept in the field of evolutionary biology that addresses the processes of speciation and adaptation. It was proposed by paleontologist David M. Raup and is named after paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The hypothesis suggests that speciation events, which are the emergence of new species, are often influenced by both ecological factors and evolutionary dynamics.
