Fig. 2: Tempo of species diversification for the six study lineages.

a Lineage-through-time curves of each lineage. The thick lines represent maximum credibility phylogenetic reconstructions, while the semi-transparent lines represent 100 trees sampled from Bayesian posterior distributions. The dashed line marks the onset of the Pleistocene at 2.6 Ma before present. The number of lineages is plotted in logarithmic scale, i.e. the exponential growth expected under pure birth model would appear linear here. b Parameter estimates indicating the effect size of the temperature control on speciation rates in temperature-dependent models of species diversification (Δ speciation rate). The black dots represent the estimates from the multi-clade model with shared parameters among lineages. Higher values above the dashed line indicate lower speciation in colder geological periods. Thick dots correspond to estimates based on the maximum credibility phylogenetic trees, and semi-transparent dots on the 100 trees sampled from the posterior distribution.
