The worldwide diversification of core corvoid birds (737 species). In this graphical presentatioin, species richness patterns representing the 1st root-path quartile (the 25% of species with the shortest root-paths based on the supertree) are displayed with violet color, and the 75% of more terminal species are displayed in green. A proportionally equal representation of the two groups produces neutral (grey) hues and the total species richness is shown as brightness.
Figures of the Article
-
The distribution of land in the Early Oligocene (34 Mya), corresponding to the time when the expansion of songbirds out of the ancestral area started (as indicated by arrows). Redrawn from www.scotese.com (December 2012). The existence of oceanic islands projecting above sea level is poorly documented for this time period.
