Table 1.

Average (avg) and maximum (max) diversification rates for higher taxa of different ranks (columns) within each major clade (rows), where diversification rates are in species per Myr. Amoebozoa, Excavata and the SAR clade are not recognized kingdoms but are major clades of protists treated as kingdoms here. Each kingdom has a single estimate for the net-diversification rate (no maximum or average). Diversification rates are estimated using ɛ = 0.5.
