Model values are log‐likelihood values for maximum‐likelihood analyses, whereas Bayesian models are marginal likelihoods calculated by stepping stone sampling. Significant values, for which the dependent model of evolution is significantly better than the independent model, are expressed in bold (P‐value < 0.01, logBF > 5).
