Speciation history shapes patterns of assemblage species richness in birds

Bouwe Rutger Reijenga, Rampal S. Etienne, David John Murrell, Alex L. Pigot

This study shows that speciation history influences sympatric species richness in birds, with older clades having higher richness due to longer time for species to accumulate in sympatry.
