Temporal patterns of diversification across global cichlid biodiversity (Acanthomorpha: Cichlidae).

The contrasting distribution of species diversity across the major lineages of cichlids makes them an ideal group for investigating macroevolutionary processes. In this study, we investigate whether different rates of diversification may explain the disparity in species richness across cichlid linea...
