The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.
