Fig. 3: Diversification of Cupressaceae sensu lato.

From: Key innovations and niche variation promoted rapid diversification of the widespread Juniperus (Cupressaceae)

a Phylogenetic relationships of Cupressaceae sensu lato based on the whole chloroplast genome, with branch colors representing the rates of diversification and branch length representing the times of differentiation as detected by BAMM and BEAST, respectively. The photos shows three birds feeding Juniperus cones: Passer montanus, Cyanopica cyanus, and Bombycilla japonica (photo credit Kangjia Liu). b Diversification analyses using BiSSE demonstrating the effect of two traits on speciation rates: dioecious (yellow) vs. monoecious (blue) and berry-like seed cones (orange) vs. normal seed cones (purple). The variable traits within Cupressaceae sensu lato are represented on the right side of the phylogenetic tree a. The four photos represent the specific traits of Juniperus (photo credit Kangjia Liu). c Rate-through-time plots for speciation (red lines), extinction (blue lines), and net diversification (green lines) with 95% confidence intervals indicated by shaded areas. The estimates were made using BAMM.
