The interplay between speciation and extinction rates shapes clade diversity dynamics. Using a novel phylogenetic model that includes living and fossil lineages, the authors estimate speciation and ex...

Bayesian phylogenetic inference uses more and more complex diversification models as tree priors to test new macroevolutionary hypotheses. However, those models are usually developed in a neontologica...

Theories of biodiversity rest on several macroecological patterns describing the relationship between species abundance and diversity. A central problem is that all theories make similar predictions f...
