Speciation gradients and the distribution of biodiversity

D Schluter, MW Pennell - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Global patterns of biodiversity are influenced by spatial and environmental variations in the
rate at which new species form. We relate variations in speciation rates to six key patterns of …

Extant timetrees are consistent with a myriad of diversification histories

S Louca, MW Pennell - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
… We therefore call two models ‘congruent’ if they have the same dLTT for any given M o .
Any two models are either congruent or non-congruent, regardless of any particular data …

Standardizing the power of the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness of fit test in large data sets

P Paul, ML Pennell, S Lemeshow - Statistics in medicine, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The Hosmer–Lemeshow test is a commonly used procedure for assessing goodness of fit in
logistic regression. It has, for example, been widely used for evaluation of risk‐scoring …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications

DC Tank, JM Eastman, MW Pennell, PS Soltis… - New …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …

Comparative analysis of principal components can be misleading

JC Uyeda, DS Caetano, MW Pennell - Systematic Biology, 2015 - academic.oup.com
… We drew eigenvalues m from an exponential distribution and scaled these so that the leading
