Dataset from: Rapid radiation of ant parasitic butterflies during the Miocene aridification of Africa
<p>Africa has undergone a progressive aridification during the last 20 My that presumably impacted organisms and fostered the evolution of life history adaptations. We test the hypothesis that shift to living in ant nests and feeding on ant brood by larvae of phyto-predaceous <em>Lepidochrysops</em> butterflies was an adaptive response to the aridification of Africa that facilitated the subsequent radiation of butterflies in this genus. Using anchored hybrid enrichment we constructed a time-calibrated phylogeny for <em>Lepidochrysops</em> and its closest, non-parasitic relatives in the<em> Euchrysops </em>section (Poloyommatini). We estimated ancestral areas across the phylogeny with process-based biogeographical models and diversification rates relying on time-variable and clade-heterogeneous birth-death models.<strong> </strong>The <em>Euchrysops </em>section originated with the emerging Miombo woodlands about 22 million years ago (Mya), and spread to drier biomes as they became available in the late Miocene. The diversification of the non-parasitic lineages decreased as aridification intensified around 10 Mya, culminating in diversity decline. In contrast, the diversification of the phyto-predaceous <em>Lepidochrysops</em> lineage proceeded rapidly from about 6.5 Mya when this unusual life history likely first evolved.<strong> </strong>The Miombo woodlands were the cradle for diversification of the <em>Euchrysops</em> section, and our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that aridification during the Miocene selected for a phyto-predaceous life history in species of <em>Lepidochrysops</em>, with ant nests likely providing caterpillars a safe refuge from fire and a source of food when vegetation was scarce.</p>

What are the anticipated long-term effects of drought and heat, i.e. memory and lag effects?</li> </ul> <p>The data is shaped into minicubes in order to facilitate the training of deep learning spatio-temporal models that make use of both spatial and temporal dependencies (convolutions and recurrency, e.g., video prediction models).</p> <p>This release contains 2.859 demonstrator minicubes out of a parent set of 50.000 cubes that have been smart sampled in the African continent.</p> <p>Find more on <a href="https://deepcube-h2020.eu/data-cubes/ ">DeepCube data cubes</a></p>
