Studying speciation and extinction dynamics from phylogenies: addressing identifiability issues
A lot of what we know about past speciation and extinction dynamics is based on statistically
fitting birth–death processes to phylogenies of extant species. Despite their wide use, the …

Assessing the causes of diversification slowdowns: temperature‐dependent and diversity‐dependent models receive equivalent support
Diversification rates vary over time, yet the factors driving these variations remain unclear.
Temporal declines in speciation rates have often been interpreted as the effect of ecological …

A model with many small shifts for estimating species-specific diversification rates
Understanding how and why diversification rates vary through time and space and across
species groups is key to understanding the emergence of today's biodiversity. Phylogenetic …

Diversification of the phytophagous lineages of true bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) shortly after that of the flowering plants
More than 95% of phytophagous true bug (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) species belong to four
superfamilies: Miroidea (Cimicomorpha), Pentatomoidea, Coreoidea, and Lygaeoidea (all …

The build-up of the present-day tropical diversity of tetrapods
The extraordinary number of species in the tropics when compared to the extra-tropics is
probably the most prominent and consistent pattern in biogeography, suggesting that …
