Macroevolution: Overview

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Abstract Macroevolution is the sum of a range of processes that explain evolutionary changes that resulted in the diversity of major body plans through geological time and at present. The field addresses the origin of major taxonomic groupings, the causes of evolutionary radiations, major biogeographic patterns, and large‐scale extinctions.
