Landmasses have been continuously modified by tectonic activity, the breakup and collision of landmasses is thought to have generated or suppressed ecological opportunities, altering the rates of speciation, dispersal and extinction. However, the extent to which the signatures of past geological events are retained in modern biodiversity patterns—or obliterated by recent ecological dynamics—remains unresolved. We aim to identify the fingerprint of different scenarios of geological activity on phylogenetic trees and geographic range size distributions.

古代地质动力学影响中性生物多样性积累，并可在系统发育重建中检测到

陆地不断受到构造活动的改造，陆地的分裂和碰撞被认为产生或抑制了生态机会，改变了物种形成、扩散和灭绝的速度。然而，过去地质事件的特征在现代生物多样性模式中保留的程度——或被最近的生态动态消除——仍未得到解决。我们的目标是在系统发育树和地理范围大小分布上识别不同地质活动场景的指纹。
