  abstract = {{B}ackground: {A}s attested by the fossil record, {C}retaceous environmental changes have significantly impacted the diversification dynamics of several groups of organisms. {A} major biome turnover that occurred during this period was the rise of angiosperms starting ca. 125 million years ago. {T}hough there is evidence that the latter promoted the diversification of phytophagous insects, the response of other insect groups to {C}retaceous environmental changes is still largely unknown. {T}o gain novel insights on this issue, we assess the diversification dynamics of a hyperdiverse family of detritivorous beetles ({T}enebrionidae) using molecular dating and diversification analyses. {R}esults: {A}ge estimates reveal an origin after the {T}riassic-{J}urassic mass extinction (older than previously thought), followed by the diversification of major lineages during {P}angaean and {G}ondwanan breakups. {D}ating analyses indicate that arid-adapted species diversified early, while most of the lineages that are adapted to more humid conditions diversified much later. {C}ontrary to other insect groups, we found no support for a positive shift in diversification rates during the {C}retaceous; instead there is evidence for an 8.5-fold increase in extinction rates that was not compensated by a joint increase in speciation rates. {C}onclusions: {W}e hypothesize that this pattern is better explained by the concomitant reduction of arid environments starting in the mid-{C}retaceous, which likely negatively impacted the diversification of arid-adapted species that were predominant at that time.},
