AbstractPhylogenetic trees are believed to contain a wealth of information on diversification processes. Comparing phylogenetic trees is not straightforward due to their high dimensionality. Researchers have therefore defined a wide range of one-dimensional summary statistics. However, it remains unexplored to what extent these summary statistics cover the same underlying information and what summary statistics best explain observed variation across phylogenies.

AbstractThe Canidae are an ecologically important group of dog-like carnivores that arose in North America and spread across the planet around 10 million years ago. The current distribution patterns of species, coupled with their phylogenetic structure, suggest that Canidae diversification may have occurred at varying rates across different biogeographic areas. However, such extant-only analyses undervalued the rich fossil history of the group because of a limitation in methods development.
