Talk:Divergent evolution in animals

	Evolutionary biology portal This redirect is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Merge

Latest comment: 5 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

This article should be merged with divergent evolution. The articles are short and could be expanded greatly in the future if they weren't fragmented into arbitrary articles. The term divergent evolution (or divergent selection) is really just a definition, so to turn it into an actual article, content here could be moved over there. Andrew Z.

This article is only 8.5kb in size, has on average 30 visitors each day, has been around since 2013, and is still at quality=Start class. The article "Divergent evolution" is only 3.2kb in size, has on average 215 visitors each day, has been around since 2005, and is still at quality=Start class. I support this proposal. Nobody has disagreed with it in the past 8 months, therefore would you like to initiate the merge or shall I? William Harris • (talk) • 20:30, 14 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I support the decision to merge. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 14:44, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
