Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent timing and patterns of species accumulation in lowland and highland neotropical birds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used molecular phylogenies for 27 avian taxa to compare the timing and rates of diversification in lowland and highland Neotropical faunas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Páramo is the world’s fastest evolving and coolest biodiversity hotspot
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that average net diversification rates of Páramo plant lineages are faster than those of other reportedly fast evolving hotspots and that the faster evolving lineage are more likely to be found in P €ramos than the other hotspots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring speciation rates from phylogenies
TL;DR: Several methods for constructing confidence intervals for the speciation rate under the simple assumption of a pure birth process are presented and the relationships among these methods are discussed in the hope of clarifying some fundamental theory in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and biogeography of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) with special reference to the South American valerians
TL;DR: Estimates suggest that Valerianaceae colonized South America prior to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, and indicate that Plectritis is nested within South American Valeriana, as opposed to being sister to Centhranthus as previously hypothesized.

As old as the mountains: the radiations of the Ericaceae
Orlando Schwery,Renske E. Onstein,Yanis Bouchenak-Khelladi,Yao-Wu Xing,Richard J. Carter,Hans Peter Linder +5 more
TL;DR: It is predicted that the interaction of low specific leaf area (SLA) and montane habitats is correlated with increased diversification rates and that the species richness in mountains is the result of increased speciation rather than reduced extinction or increased immigration.

A Mathematical Theory of Evolution, Based on the Conclusions of Dr. J. C. Willis, F.R.S.
TL;DR: The following work is founded on that conception of evolution, the most recent and precise formulation of which is due to Dr. J. C. Willis, and represents an attempt to develop the quantitative consequences of the conception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic Properties of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate of an Unknown Parameter of a Discrete Stochastic Process
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that under certain restrictions on the joint probability distribution of the observations, the maximum likelihood estimate has at least one root which is a consistent estimate of the parameter to be estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Efficiency of Counters and Counter Circuits
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that good performance can be obtained by using an amplifier which controls the voltage recovery of the counter so that the counter receives $f$ particles/sec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency of Counting Systems
M Blackman,J L Michiels +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the derivation of formulae for the efficiency of counting systems, comprising in the general case a counter and amplifier, a scaling circuit and a recorder, is made.
