From: Phylogenomics reveals the evolution, biogeography, and diversification history of voles in the Hengduan Mountains

a The reconstruction of ancestral elevation suggests an evolutionary trend of high-elevation adaptation in HDM vole species (green and purple branches) relative to vole species outside the HDM region (black branches). b In situ diversification and colonization rates of HDM voles over time (smoothed across 0.1 Ma windows). MDivE = maximal number of observed in situ diversification events per 0.1 Ma. MColE = maximal number of observed colonization events per 0.1 Ma. c The in situ diversification rates of western HDM voles (Volemys, Proedromys, and Neodon) and eastern HDM voles (Caryomys and Eothenomys) are synchronous over time. d Global temperature trends and monsoon conditions (indicated by annual precipitation) from the Miocene to the present (modified from Ding et al. 7).
