Figure 3 (IMAGE) Science China Press Caption Biotic assembly through time of herpetofauna in the Himalaya. (a): The rates of in situ diversification and dispersal of the Himalayan herpetofauna through time (smoothed across 5 Ma windows). Dispersal indicates "dispersal into the Himalaya." MDivE = maximal number of observed in situ diversification events per Ma. MDisE = maximal number of observed dispersal events per Ma. Ambiguous events are separately listed. (b): Dispersal events from adjacent regions into the Himalaya (smoothed across 5 Ma windows). MDisE = maximal number of observed dispersal events per Ma.
