Weir and Schluter (Reports, 16 March 2007, p. 1574) used variation in the age distribution of sister species to estimate that recent rates of speciation decline toward the tropics. However, this conclusion may be undermined by taxonomic biases, sampling artifacts, and the sister-species method, all of which tend to underestimate diversification rates at low latitudes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tobias, Joseph A -- Bates, John M -- Hackett, Shannon J -- Seddon, Nathalie -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Feb 15;319(5865):901; author reply 901. doi: 10.1126/science.1150568.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Edward Grey Institute, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK. joseph.tobias@zoo.ox.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18276872" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
