... history of angiosperms remain unclear. Here, by integrating data of WD, phylogeny and distributions for angiosperms worldwide, we estimated global spatiotemporal patterns of WD and their relationships with modern climate and paleoclimate. We found that mean WD decreased with latitude in the northern...
