Bold  identifies the best-fit model. AIC’s and the difference in AIC’s with the best model (∆AIC) are shown. IST, incomplete sampling taxa; λA, the initial speciation rate in Arion; λG, the initial speciation rate in Geomalacus; μ 0A, the initial extinction rate in Arion; μ 0G, the initial extinction rate in Geomalacus; λ, the initial speciation rate; μ, the initial extinction rate; ‡ in the pure-birth model, extinction is fixed to zero.
