Angiosperm speciation cools down in the tropics
J Igea, AJ Tanentzap - Ecology letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Recent evidence has questioned whether the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient (LDG), whereby
species richness increases towards the Equator, results in higher rates of speciation in the …

Heterogeneous relationships between rates of speciation and body size evolution across vertebrate clades
Several theories predict that rates of phenotypic evolution should be related to the rate at
which new lineages arise. However, drawing general conclusions regarding the coupling …

No link between population isolation and speciation rate in squamate reptiles
Rates of species formation vary widely across the tree of life and contribute to massive
disparities in species richness among clades. This variation can emerge from differences in …

Impact of phylogenetic tree completeness and mis-specification of sampling fractions on trait dependent diversification models
Understanding the origins of diversity and the factors that drive some clades to be more
diverse than others are important issues in evolutionary biology. Sophisticated SSE (state …
