Bias in the fossil record: Preservation bias Temporal bias

Trends in Evolution

Cope's rule: evolution tends to increase body size over geological time in a lineage of populations. Figure: over the last sixty million years, the average weight of horses has increased ten fold.

Understanding the type of trend (passive or driven) is important Don’t over-interpret too much about mechanisms Selection can be going on in a passive system or in a driven one…
