(increase speciation or suppress extinction) will be selected for at the level of species. Species in a genus or higher-level clade, (and, as we shall see, bacteria in a clone) do not unlike lower-level entities (arguably including species), are clades collectively "interactors" a constituent species: there is no distinct genusor higher clade-level reproductive from selection or drift at the levels of genes, cells, organisms and species, they are not the organisms and mine is on understanding clades above species as entities under selection What selection sees at the species level (specialization) is not what it sees at the clade ./cache/work_gxl72uy2ubdlfld6tfpddhap3u.pdf ./txt/work_gxl72uy2ubdlfld6tfpddhap3u.txt
