Conclusions

• Best fitting models (BFM) account for ~ 50% of variance

Conclusions

• Best fitting models (BFM) account for ~ 50% of variance

• BFM includes ancestry, medium-distance dispersal, evolutionary shifts, and effects of AET on dispersal

Conclusions

• Best fitting models (BFM) account for ~ 50% of variance

• BFM includes ancestry, medium-distance dispersal, evolutionary shifts, and effects of AET on dispersal

• BFM has acceptable residual distribution and better accounts for high-diversity residuals

Something for Everybody!

• “History” Fans• “Contemporary Climate” Fans• “Geometric Constraints” Fans

For History Fans….

Only models that included ancestry and a simple form of speciation could

generate a linear fit with good residuals and best account for high

diversity sites

For Contemporary Climate Fans….

Only models that included an environmental layer representing contemporary climate (AET) could

account for a substantial fraction of the variance in species richness.

For Geometric Constraints Fans….

Only models that included short- to medium-distance dispersal provided adequate fit and had good predictive

power.
