a A protracted speciation genealogy where each tip represents a population, and the rate of population splitting (hereafter denoted as λ’), conversion (χ), and extirpation (μ’) all influence the lineage diversification process and ultimately species richness [34]. b. Converting events (gradient bars) shown on the genealogy; all descendants after a converting event are considered a new species. c. Final species richness after protracted speciation. In this case, three extant species (blue, black and orange) were formed, with species 2 represented by multiple populations
