Table 2.

The estimated speciation rate (λ), extinction rate (μ), net diversification rate (r) and lineage turn–over rate (t) generated from the MuSSE analysis (for modelling the effect of geographic regions and biomes), BiSSE analysis (for modelling the effect of the Orange River) and BAMM analysis (for computing the overall diversification pattern for each target group)

The unit used in the table was uniform for the cladogenesis events (or lineage events) per Ma

†Net diversification rate (r) = Speciation rate (λ)—Extinction rate (μ)

‡Lineage turn-over rate = μ / λ
