Patterns of species richness reflect the balance between speciation and extinction over the
evolutionary history of life. These processes are influenced by the size and geographical …

Phylogenetic trees of only extant species contain information about the underlying
speciation and extinction pattern. In this review, I provide an overview over the different …

DNA barcoding-type studies assemble single-locus data from large samples of individuals
and species, and have provided new kinds of data for evolutionary surveys of diversity. An …

GEIGER is a new software package, written in the R language, to describe evolutionary
radiations. GEIGER can carry out simulations, parameter estimation and statistical …

We present a new software package (hzar) that provides functions for fitting molecular
genetic and morphological data from hybrid zones to classic equilibrium cline models using …

The Neotropics contains half of remaining rainforests and Earth's largest reservoir of
amphibian biodiversity. However, determinants of Neotropical biodiversity (ie, vicariance …

The evolutionary dissimilarity between communities (phylogenetic beta diversity PBD) has
been increasingly explored by ecologists and biogeographers to assess the relative roles of …

Understanding the processes that drive the dramatic changes in biodiversity along the
productivity gradient remains a major challenge. Insight from simple, bivariate relationships …

Evolution is happening all around us. In many cases–lately, due to technological advances
in molecular biology–scientists can now describe the evolutionary process in exquisite …
