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
Despite their extensive diversity and ecological importance, the history of diversification for most groups of parasitic organisms remains relatively understudied. Elucidating broad macroevolutionary
Much of the immense present day biological diversity of Neotropical rainforests originated from the Miocene onwards, a period of geological and ecological upheaval in South America. We assess the impa
