Morphological complexity promotes origination and extinction rates in ammonoids

The causes of heterogeneity in evolutionary rates are a key question in macroevolution. Origination and extinction rates are closely related to abiotic factors, such as climate and geography, as well as biotic factors such as taxonomic richness and morphology, which are influenced by phylogeny. Stud...
