Table 1.

Correlations between temperature and standing diversity, origination rate and extinction rate. (Numbers are Pearson correlation coefficients for (transformed, detrended, mean standardized) temperature against the column variable, *p<0.05. Coefficients for unlagged data are always given. If coefficients for lagged data were stronger, these are also given (italics if coefficient is significantly stronger than unlagged). Details of data transformation, splines used to calculate residuals+CIs of r are given in the electronic supplementary material, table 2.)
