Do Marine Mammals Diversify More Slowly Than Non‐Marine Mammals?
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slower pace than their non‐marine counterparts, aiming to shed light on the factors explaining potential diversification differences among them ...
