How traits shape trees: new approaches for detecting character state-dependent lineage diversification.

Abstract excerpt

Biologists have long sought to understand the processes underlying disparities in clade size across the tree of life and the extent to which such clade size differences can be attributed to the evolution of particular traits. The association of certain character states with species-rich clades suggests that trait evolution can lead to increased diversification, but such a pattern could also arise due other...
