F. Richter, T. Janzen, H. Hildenbrandt, E. C. Wit, R. S. Etienne
The paper introduces a new statistical method to analyze phylodiversity-dependent diversification using Monte Carlo Expectation-Maximization and applies it to 14 phylogenies, finding that phylogenetic divergence can spur speciation despite reduced species richness.
