A surprising amount of hidden phylogenetic diversity exists in the small to medium size, drab colored squirrels of the genus Sundasciurus. This genus is endemic to Sundaland and the Philippines, where
d, e and w are free parameters in models where d is the rate of range expansion (i.e. dispersal), e is the rate of range contraction (i.e. extinction), and w is a dispersal multiplier parameter. As th
