Spatial phylogenetics of butterflies in relation to environmental drivers and angiosperm diversity across North America

Summary: Broad-scale, quantitative assessments of insect biodiversity and the factors shaping it remain particularly poorly explored. Here we undertook a spatial phylogenetic analysis of North American butterflies to test whether climate stability and temperature gradients have shaped their diversit...
