•Diversification slowdowns are common but their causes are not well understood.•We focus on underappreciated biological factors that might be important.•These factors include geography, environment-driven speciation, and protracted speciation.•Extinction due to a changing environment may also slow diversification in a clade.•These possibilities suggest unrecognized factors that may influence clade diversity.
