Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar’s endangered lemurs by Kathryn M. Everson, Luca Pozzi, Meredith A. Barrett, Mary E. Blair, Mariah E. Donohue, Peter M. Kappeler, Andrew C. Kitchener, Alan R. Lemmon, Emily Moriarty Lemmon, Carlos J. Pavón-Vázquez, Ute Radespiel, Blanchard Randrianambinina, Rodin M. Rasoloarison, Solofonirina Rasoloharijaona, Christian Roos, Jordi Salmona, Anne D. Yoder, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson, Dietmar Zinner, David W. Weisrock

“…Our analyses reveal multiple bursts of diversification (without subsequent declines) that explain much of today’s lemur diversity. We also find higher rates of speciation in Madagascar’s lemurs compared to lorisiforms, and we demonstrate that the lemur clades with high diversification rates also have high rates of genomic introgression. …”

Rapid radiations underlie most of the known diversity of life by John J. Wiens, Daniel S. Moen

“…Specifically, we quantify how much of Earth’s species richness is contained within rapid radiations (clades with high net diversification rates). We find that among the major clades of living organisms and among land plant phyla and animal phyla, &gt;80% of known species richness is contained within the few clades in the upper 90th percentile for diversification rates in each group. …”
