Estimating the normal background rate of species extinction.

TL;DR: Current extinction rates are 1,10 times higher than natural background rates of extinction and future rates are likely to be 10,000 times higher, and estimates of diversification-the difference between speciation and extinction rates for different taxa are compiled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of multicellularity coincided with increased diversification of cyanobacteria and the Great Oxidation Event

TL;DR: The results suggest that multicellularity could have played a key role in triggering cyanobacterial evolution around the Great Oxidation Event, and an origin of cyanobacteria before the rise of atmospheric oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxonomy based on science is necessary for global conservation

Scott Thomson, +193 more
- 14 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Garnett and Christidis as mentioned in this paper argued that the lack of governance of taxonomy damages conservation efforts, harms the credibility of science, and is costly to society, and pointed out that the scientific community's failure to govern taxonomy threatens the effectiveness of global efforts to halt biodiversity loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterostyly accelerates diversification via reduced extinction in primroses

TL;DR: It is shown that heterostyly accelerates species diversification via decreasing extinction rates rather than increasing speciation rates, probably owing to avoidance of the negative genetic effects of selfing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speciation through chromosomal fusion and fission in Lepidoptera.

TL;DR: The first comprehensive literature survey of karyotypes for Lepidoptera species since the 1970s and phylogenetic diversification rate analyses indicated a strong, positive association of rates of chromosome number evolution and speciation are suggested.
