Line Plot from Scientific Research

Diversity (number of genera) of Hymenoptera. For each plot, solid lines indicate mean posterior rates; shaded areas show 95% CI. Reconstructions of diversity trajectories replicated to incorporate uncertainties around the ages of the fossil occurrences. ATR, Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution; K-Pg, Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. Time is in millions of years. The color of each geological period in the chronostratigraphic scale follows that of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart (v2023/09).
