Explaining species richness from continents to communities: the time-for-speciation effect in emydid turtles

Speciation is the process that ultimately generates species richness. However, the time required for speciation to build up diversity in a region is rarely considered as an explanation for patterns of species richness. We explored this "time-for-speciation effect" on patterns of species ri...
