  • The authors argue that ancient whole-genome duplications might be linked to major ecological upheavals and extinction. When established, polyploidy might lead to increased vigour, species diversity and phenotypic novelties, and could therefore contribute to the evolutionary success of a lineage.

Here, evidence linking the short-term evolutionary success of polyploids to environmental upheaval is reviewed and possible longer-term evolutionary benefits of polyploidy are discussed.
