Systematic Biology
Overview
Systematic Biology is a renowned scientific journal that focuses on the study of evolutionary relationships and the classification of organisms. It publishes cutting-edge research articles, reviews, and methodological advancements in the field of phylogenetics, molecular evolution, and comparative biology. With a strong emphasis on rigorous methodologies and theoretical frameworks, this journal serves as a vital resource for researchers and scholars interested in understanding the complexities of biological diversity and evolutionary history.

Explaining global species richness patterns is a major goal of evolution, ecology, and biogeography. These richness patterns are often attributed to spatial variation in diversification rates (speciation minus extinction). Surprisingly,...
