Where is the evidence for biodiversity equilibria? Follow the debate in the following publications. Our original paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... The response: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... Our reply: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Plant lineages capable of clonal reproduction seem to diversify slower than their non-clonal counterparts. A seemingly simple result backed by labour-intensive compilation of plant clonality data across the world. Thank you, Sonia, for all the work. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New PLoS Biol paper led by @cerezer.bsky.social & David Storch (CTS): across tetrapods, species richness patterns are mainly shaped by equilibrium dynamics modulated by environmental productivity, rather than by speciation rates or time for species accumulation. 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

‪New paper by David Storch, @graceridder.bsky.social & Jordan Okie in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social applying the Equilibrium Theory of Biodiversity Dynamics to Cenozoic diversity. Temperate diversity likely below equilibrium; tropical diversity may be above it. 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/a/1m5jLcZ3X3...
