Body size and life history shape the historical biogeography of tetrapods.

Nature ecology & evolution - 1 Sept 2023

Abstract excerpt

Dispersal across biogeographic barriers is a key process determining global patterns of biodiversity as it allows lineages to colonize and diversify in new realms. Here we demonstrate that past biogeographic dispersal events often depended on species' traits, by analysing 7,009 tetrapod species in 56 clades. Biogeographic models incorporating body size or life history accrued more statistical support than...
