Abstract Adaptive zones are defined as ecological opportunities for lineages to diversify. Cucujoid beetles provide a unique system investigate adaptive zones, specifically the interplay between factors that may predict diversity and mechanisms such competition limit diversification. Using taxon-rich, time-calibrated phylogeny of cucujoid beetles, we report clade ages in conjunction with estimated major shifts feeding ecology within this group. With these ages, calculate delay time-to-colonization food resources compared extant each We uncovered pattern increased lineage novel probably devoid from other beetles. Neither resource, age nor beetle were able species groups. Our results evidence shifting resource first is strong predictor diversity.
