Popis: | Henao Diaz et al. (1), hereafter HDEA, claim to find a “hidden generality” about macroevolutionary rates, specifically, that diversification rates are faster in younger clades. However, this pattern was far from hidden. It was previously shown across the tree of life in a paper (2) cited by HDEA, but with no mention of the extensive overlap in their findings. For example, we (2) showed that “Diversification rates were negatively related to clade ages across the tree (kingdom: r 2 = 0.90; phylum: r 2 = 0.19; class: r 2 = 0.33; order: r 2 = 0.07; family: r 2 = 0.15; p |
