The remarkable diversity of angiosperm species has prompted a search for universal drivers
that modulate rates of speciation and extinction across this clade. To date, attempts to …

Variation in species richness across the tree of life, accompanied by the incredible variety of
ecological and morphological characteristics found in nature, has inspired many studies to …

Angiosperms represent one of the key examples of evolutionary success, and their diversity
dwarfs other land plants; this success has been linked, in part, to genome size and …

The causes of the rapid diversification and extraordinary richness of flowering plants
(angiosperms) relative to other plant clades is a long-standing mystery. Angiosperms are …

The composition of natural vegetation typically includes a wide range of species sizes, but
usually, relatively small size classes are represented by the greatest number of resident …

Ecology Letters (2010) Abstract Elucidating factors associated with diversification have been
attempted in lineages as diverse as birds, mammals and angiosperms, yet has met with …

Introduction The phenomenal expansion of angiosperms has prompted many investigations
into the factors driving their diversification, but there remain significant gaps in our …

Abstract Background and Aims As angiosperms became one of the megadiverse groups of
macroscopic eukaryotes, they forged modern ecosystems and promoted the evolution of …
