Table 1.

Taxonomic diversity of California occurrence data for plants and animals derived from GBIF occurrence data, and the number retained at each level of classification in the final tree (before and after the “/,” respectively). We thinned the tree to 1 species (and therefore 1 genus) per family, and so constrained the number of genera and species in the tree. Values in parentheses for n.genera and n.species reflect the number of taxa for which TimeTree returned molecular time estimates before thinning to 1 representative species per family.
