Trait 0 lacks adhesive toepads; trait 1 possesses adhesive toepads. Lambda  =  trait specific speciation rates; mu  =  trait specific extinction rates; q  =  transition rate parameters. Constrained models are compared using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The models with the lowest AIC scores are in bold.
