Fig. 2: Morphological diversity versus rate of evolution.

Diversity is represented by five-dimensional morphological volumes defined by pPC1–5 using convex hull (CH) and hypervolume (HV) methods, of which we took the 5th-root, scaled, and mean-centered. Each dot represents a family with more than six species sampled in our morphological dataset (n = 27), with convex-hull volume on the vertical axis and hypervolume indicated by dot area and color. Phylogenetic generalized least-squares correlation results between morphological rate and each method of volume estimation are also shown. Both P-values reflect two-sided hypothesis tests with no adjustment for multiple comparisons. Source Data can be found within Supplementary Code 1.
