TABLE 1. Temporal data and taxonomic parameters of the study. Time units and absolute ages extracted from Gradstein and Ogg (2004). The limits and the duration (∆t) of each interval are shown in million years. N0, number of initial taxa; Nt, number of taxa with record in the subsequent interval; O, number of originated taxa; E, number of extinguished taxa; T, number of total taxa; St, number of singleton taxa; Nr, number of range-through taxa; Ne, number of extinguished taxa by discounting the singletons; Nf, number of originated taxa by discounting the singletons.
