Extended Data Fig. 8: Sample of subclade diversity trajectories for the first 14 larger taxonomic groups.
From: Loss of macroevolutionary species fitness explains the rise and fall of clades

Each row is a clade, and each column is a randomly sampled diversity trajectory from a subclade (holding 20 to 40 species). Time is standardized to 1 unit. In light blue we show the subclade diversity and in black we show the Expectation of the Negative Binomial regression (Methods) of the diversity trajectory. Note the great variation in diversity trajectories across subclades for a given taxonomic group.
