Rate-through-time plot as inferred with RevBayes for Parnassiinae. Net diversification rates significantly changed and increased along the stem of the genus Parnassius, in agreement with the rates as
A long-standing hypothesis in evolutionary biology is that the evolution of resource specialization can lead to an evolutionary dead end, where specialists have low diversification rates and limited a
1.Quantifying phenotypic evolutionary rates and their variation across phylogenetic trees is a major issue in evolutionary biology. A number of phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) currently perfor
Testing for rate variation in the original dataset including missing species and biogeographic clades using the maximum likelihood ΔAIC test statistic.
