adequaSSE: Model Adequacy Testing for Trait-Dependent Diversification Models

This paper introduces a Bayesian method to assess the adequacy of trait-dependent diversification models by generating posterior predictive distributions for test statistics.

Age, Origin, and Biogeography: Unveiling the Factors Behind the Diversification of Dung Beetles

This study estimates the origin and biogeographic history of dung beetles, supporting an old age and Gondwanan origin but leaving the relationship between range and diversification unclear.

The Shape of Trees - Limits of Current Diversification Models

The paper evaluates diversification models using tree shape analysis, finding that while most phylogenies can be described by at least one model, adequacy testing is crucial for reliable results.

BoskR - Testing Adequacy of Diversification Models Using Tree Shape

BoskR assesses diversification model adequacy by comparing tree shapes from simulated and empirical phylogenies using graph Laplacian metrics.

Pollen sterols are associated with phylogenetics and environment but not with pollinators

This study quantifies pollen phytosterols across 122 plant species and finds phylogenetic clustering and environmental adaptation but no link to pollinator guilds.
