Absolute diversification rates in angiosperm clades.
The extraordinary contemporary species richness and ecological predominance of flowering plants (angiosperms) are even more remarkable when considering the relatively recent onset of their evolutionary diversification. We examine the evolutionary diversification of angiosperms and the observed differential distribution of species in angiosperm clades by estimating the rate of diversification fo...
متن کاملNested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications.
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time-calibrated phylogeny, we characterized hot and cold spots of lineage diversification across the angiosperm tree of life by modeling evolutionary diversification using stepwise AIC (MEDUSA). We also tested the whole-genome duplication (WGD) radiation...
متن کاملHerbivory increases diversification across insect clades
Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned the role of herbivory in insect diversification. Here, we test the relationships between herbivory and insect diversification across multiple ...
متن کاملSeed Dispersal by Animals: a Role in Angiosperm Diversification?
The astounding diversity of angiosperms, and their prevalence in most presentday terrestrial habitats, has often attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists, and a number of factors have been proposed to explain the success and extraordinary radiation of this group, particularly in relation to gymnosperms (see, e.g., stebbins 1974, 1981; Raven 1977; Regal 1977; Doyle 1978; Mulcahy 1979; ...
متن کاملDistinct Processes Drive Diversification in Different Clades of Gesneriaceae.
Using a time-calibrated phylogenetic hypothesis including 768 Gesneriaceae species (out of [Formula: see text]3300 species) and more than 29,000 aligned bases from 26 gene regions, we test Gesneriaceae for diversification rate shifts and the possible proximal drivers of these shifts: geographic distributions, growth forms, and pollination syndromes. Bayesian Analysis of Macroevolutionary Mixtur...
