For sample sizes (n), the figure in parentheses indicates the number of the total representing victims. Mode refers to model of evolutionary change; gradual (G) or punctuated (P). Significance values given in Prandom indicate the probability that the distribution of victims and survivors is random. Columns marked AW give Akaike weights for the regression models indicated in subscript (abbreviations for models: S, body size; MA, jaw closing MA). These values indicate relative support for their corresponding models. AW of the best fitting model for a given dataset partition appears in boldface, and is marked with an asterisk when its model is a substantially better fit than the alternatives. Only values for the factors of the best-fitting model are given for PS,MA and the odds ratio. The first value in these 2 columns applies to S and the second (where present) to MA.
