Fig. 3: Diversification rate and relative proportion of lineages through time in each biogeographic region.

From: Conserved ancestral tropical niche but different continental histories explain the latitudinal diversity gradient in brush-footed butterflies

Fig. 3

a Average temporal dynamics of net diversification rate in each region and b relative proportion of lineages in each biogeographic region through time, estimated from the DECX analysis. Rates were estimated using a sliding window analysis combining historical biogeography (DEC) and speciation/extinction rates (BAMM). Colored shading in figure (a) indicates the distribution of mean rates estimated for 100 randomly sampled timing of dispersal events. Colored lines are the mean of this distribution. Cret= Cretaceous, Pal= Paleocene, Eoc= Eocene, Olig= Oligocene, Mio= Miocene. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
