Table 3.

Summary of model fit comparisons performed on each habitat and phylogeny reconstruction. Bold denotes best fitting model based on comparison of mean AICc. Note that for any reconstruction only one model is preferred (ΔAICc = 0.0), some models may be disfavoured (ΔAICc > 2.0), and others may receive support (0.0 < ΔAICc < 2.0).
