Roles of climate niche conservatism and range dynamics in woody plant diversity patterns through the Cenozoic

摘要

Aim: Large-scale biodiversity patterns are often discussed in the context of 'out of the tropics' (OTT) dynamics and/or tropical niche conservatism (TNC), but empirical evidence of these processes remains very limited. The aim of this study was to infer diversification processes and mechanisms of Cenozoic diversity dynamics using woody angiosperms.
