Multiple Speciation and Extinction Rate Shifts Shaped the Macro-Evolutionary History of the Genus <i>Lycium</i> Towards a Rather Gradual Accumulation of Species Within the Genus

The Neotropics are the most species-rich region on Earth, and spectacular diversification rates in plants are reported in plants, mostly occurring in oceanic archipelagos, making Neotropical and island plant lineages a model for macro-evolutionary studies. The genus <i>Lycium</i> in the...
