Global variation in diversification rate and species richness are unlinked in plants.
Species richness varies immensely around the world. Variation in the rate of diversification (speciation minus extinction) is often hypothesized to explain this pattern, while alternative explanations invoke time or ecological carrying capacities as drivers. Focusing on seed plants, the world’s most important engineers of terrestrial ecosystems, we investigated the role...Tietje, Melanie ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Baker, William J. ; Govaerts, Rafaël ; Smith, Stephen A. …
