Besides this, our haplotype based diversification rate analysis revealed an increasing trend of diversification that corroborated our ENM results for Pv-A.
By contrast, Ptt-B and Pv-B showed a remarkable decline in their λ plots, indicating a decreasing trend in net diversification.
tentorius species complex showed a trend of increasing diversification rates after its cladogenesis started approximately 10 Ma, levelling off only in recent time (approximately 1 Ma, Fig. 7 b).
