Diversity‐through‐time of the Galápagos terrestrial avifauna (a) Bayesian information criterion weights obtained by fitting different models to the consensus Galápagos phylogenetic data set reveal strong support for the M8 model. (b) Total number of species through time obtained in 5000 stochastic simulations of the M8 model, conditioning on there being a single DF colonisation. Lines show medians, and light and dark blue areas show respectively the 2.5th and 75th percentiles across the 5000 simulated data sets. Dotted black line shows the number of observed species in the Galápagos data. Model names defined in Table S8.
