Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, methodology): “Other species-rich genera such as Duguetia (89 species in the neotropics four in Africa, Maas et al. 2003, Chatrou, pers. comm.) and Uvaria (80 species in Africa, 130 SEA and 20 in Madagascar, Zhou et al. 2012) have been reconstructed as being African in origin.”
The early evolution of ray‐finned fishes (2015, background): “2014), and some groups show elevated rates of body size evolution (Rabosky et al. 2013).”
A novel Bayesian method for inferring and interpreting the dynamics of adaptive landscapes from phylogenetic comparative data (2014, methodology): “We implement a reversible-jump algorithm that jointly estimates the location, number, and magnitude of shifts in adaptive optima from phylogenetic comparative data (Green 1995; Huelsenbeck et al. 2000, 2004; Eastman et al. 2011, 2013; Rabosky et al. 2013).”
Automatic Detection of Key Innovations, Rate Shifts, and Diversity-Dependence on Phylogenetic Trees (2014, background): “…of modeling rate heterogeneity in phylogenetic trees are likely to become more severe as we consider ever-larger phylogenetic trees [56,57,58,59]: the larger the phylogeny, the greater the likelihood that the tree is the result of a heterogeneous mixture of distinct evolutionary processes.”
Cichlid fishes as models of ecological diversification: patterns, mechanisms, and consequences (2015, background): “Adaptive radiation Among fishes, cichlids display comparatively fast diversification rates (Near et al., 2013; Rabosky et al., 2013).”
Reproductive isolation and the causes of speciation rate variation in nature (2016, background): “…speciation per se), many studies that have explicitly modelled the contribution of speciation rate variation to large scale diversity patterns have found a compelling signal of differential speciation on diversity patterns (Rabosky et al., 2013; Belmaker & Jetz, 2015; Rabosky, Title & Huang, 2015).”
BAMMtools: an R package for the analysis of evolutionary dynamics on phylogenetic trees (2014, methodology): “BAMMtools is a companion package to the BAMMprogram (Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures; Rabosky et al. 2013; Rabosky 2014) and is oriented entirely around the analysis and visualization of complex evolutionary dynamics on phylogenetic trees.”
