Global cooling as a driver of diversification in a major marine clade
In many groups of organisms, speciation rates are higher when global temperatures are warmer. Here, Davis et al. find that marine crustaceans in the Anomura clade have higher speciation rates during cooler periods, whereas their freshwater relatives have the more typical relationship of higher speci...

Here, Davis et al. find that marine crustaceans in the Anomura clade have higher speciation rates during cooler periods, whereas their freshwater relatives have the more typical relationship of higher speciation rates in warmer periods. |
