Posterior sampled of the correlations parameters are summarized as mean values and 95% credible intervals (CI). The correlation parameters γλ and γμ quantify the correlation between temporal changes in the birth-death rates and changes in the degree of sympatry. For instance, the speciation rate at time t is λt = λ0 exp(γλ st), where λ0 is the estimated baseline speciation rate and st is the degree of sympatry at time t (ref. 11). Values in bold indicate significant negative correlation with speciation and significant positive correlation with extinction rates.
