Low rate of lineage diversification High rates of lineage diversification Ancestral trait innovation Evolutionary dead ends (e.g. specialization hypothesis) Key innovation hypothesis for diversity Low rate of trait diversification no special name? Non-adaptive radiation High rate of trait diversification Adaptive divergence? Local adaptation? Adaptive radiation Niche conservatism

Blomberg’s K: measures degree of similarity among close relatives, relative to expectations based on Brownian motion
