Abstract Changes in life history traits are often considered speciation triggers and can have
dramatic effects on the evolutionary history of a lineage. Here, we examine the …

Changes in life history traits, including reproductive strategies or host shifts, are often
considered triggers of speciation, affecting diversification rates. Subsequently, these shifts …

Untangling the relationship between morphological evolution and lineage diversification is
key to explain global patterns of phenotypic disparity across the Tree of Life. Few studies …

Abstract Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) are currently subdivided into three
