As the content of the BIPB and TAIC increased, a decreasing trend in the elongation at break was observed, alongside an increasing trend in modulus, as shown in Fig. 3b .

The highest incidence of BPH was 1988.75 (95% UI: 1456.56 to 2680.07) in the high-middle region, with a decreasing trend between 1990 and 2019 (AAPCs: -0.37, 95% CI: -0.42 to -0.33) (Table 2 ; Fig. 2 B).

Therefore, the TNC hypothesis assumes that mean clade age will demonstrate a decreasing trend along latitudes and a positive correlation with temperature and precipitation (Qian and Ricklefs 2016 ; Wiens and Donoghue 2004 ).
