This study uses Bayesian methods to analyze land plant diversification dynamics across the Phanerozoic, identifying key patterns and drivers of diversification and extinction.

This study uses Bayesian models on fossil data to show beetles have low extinction rates and their diversification is driven by vascular plant evolution, particularly angiosperms.

This study identifies two diversification pulses in termites, linking their evolutionary history to climate changes and their rise as dominant tropical decomposers.

The paper critiques a study's findings on neoselachian diversification patterns, attributing discrepancies to methodological issues and incomplete fossil data.

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of palms using 1,033 nuclear genes and fossil evidence, finding the family originated in the Early Cretaceous and diversified rapidly.

This study uses phylogenomic data to show Messor harvester ants originated in the Irano-Indian area 20 Mya and diversified in response to temperature changes.

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of orchids using genomic data and infers their geographic origin and speciation patterns, finding their origin in Laurasia and recent speciation in Central America.

The paper shows that ancient tropical extinctions during cold climate transitions shaped the current latitudinal diversity gradient by disproportionately affecting high latitudes.
