Figure 5: Mean speciation and phenotypic evolutionary rates across a family-level tree of living fishes.

From: Rates of speciation and morphological evolution are correlated across the largest vertebrate radiation

Figure 5

Terminal branch lengths are proportional to speciation rates; tip size and colours represent extant species richness and rate of body size evolution. Labelled clades denote families that fall in the fastest 10% for both the rate of speciation and the rate of phenotypic evolution. Tree includes all families represented by five or more species (n=172) in the full tree.
