  abstract = {{T}ropical rain forests ({TRF}) are the most diverse terrestrial biome on {E}arth, but thediversification dynamics of their constituent growth forms remain largely unexplored.{C}limbing plants contribute significantly to species diversity and ecosystem processes in {TRF}. {W}e investigate the broad-scale patterns and drivers of species richness as well as the diversification history of climbing and non-climbing palms ({A}recaceae). {W}e quantify to what extent macroecological diversity patterns are related to contemporary climate, forest canopy height, and paleoclimatic changes.{W}e test whether diversification rates are higher for climbing than non-climbing palms and estimate the origin of the climbing habit. {C}limbers account for 22% of global palm species diversity, mostly concentrated in {S}outheast {A}sia. {G}lobal variation in climbing palm species richness can be partly explained by past and present-day climate and rain forest canopy height, but regional differences in residual species richness after accounting for current and past differences in environment suggest a strong role of historical contingencies in climbing palm diversification. {C}limbing palms show a higher net diversification rate than non-climbers. {D}iversification analyses of palms detected a diversification rate increase along the branches leading to the most speciesrich clade of climbers. {A}ncestral character reconstructions revealed that the climbing habit originated between early {E}ocene and {M}iocene. {T}hese results imply that changes from non-climbing to climbing habits may have played an important role in palm diversification, resulting in the origin of one fifth of all palm species.{W}e suggest that, in addition to current climate and paleoclimatic changes after the late {N}eogene, present-day diversity of climbing palms can be explained by morpho-anatomical innovations, the biogeographic history of {S}outheast {A}sia, and/or ecological opportunities due to the diversification of high-stature dipterocarps in {A}sian {TRF}s.},
