Extended Data Fig. 6: Path analysis of hypothetical causal links among geological and climatic factors and different grid-based speciation rates in eroded cells.
From: Global topographic uplift has elevated speciation in mammals and birds over the last 3 million years
Eroded cells were those with a decrease in elevation since the Plio-Pleistocene (n = 10,884 cells) and we fitted a separate path analysis for mammals and birds. Models were fitted to a) weighted mean λBAMM; b) geometric weighted mean λBAMM - GM; and c) geometric weighted mean λDR - GM. Lines and colours as in Fig. 2.
