Abstract excerpt
Conflicting relationships have been found between diversification rate and temperature across disparate clades of life. Here, we use a supermatrix comprising nearly 20,000 species of rosids-a clade of ~25% of all angiosperm species-to understand global patterns of diversification and its climatic association. Our approach incorporates historical global temperature, assessment of species' temperature niche, and...
