Plate tectonics drive tropical reef biodiversity dynamics

Plate tectonics drive tropical reef biodiversity dynamics

Over a geological timescale, plate tectonics are thought to promote biodiversity, but this link remained descriptive. Here, Leprieur et al. model dynamically how plate tectonics shaped species diversification and movement of hotspots on tropical reefs over the past 140 million years.
