## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the evolutionary dynamics, diversification rates, and adaptive radiations of mammals and their ancestors. It delves into topics such as phylogenetic comparative analysis, speciation and extinction patterns, biogeography, molecular phylogeny, body size evolution, and the impact of Cenozoic climatic changes on mammalian evolution. |
