Quantitative State Speciation and Extinction (QuaSSE) analysis for body size dependency on diversification. Linear, Sigmoidal and Modal models were used
| Model | InL | X2 | P | AIC | ΔAIC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linear | −131.16 | 5.2715 | 0.0216777 | 270.32 | 8.30 |
| Sigmoidal | − 128.12 | 11.3579 | 0.0099401 | 268.24 | 6.22 |
| Modal | −125.01 | 17.5754 | 0.0005381 | 262.02 | 0.00 |
| Linear (φ) | −130.40 | 6.7934 | 0.0334840 | 270.80 | 8.78 |
| Sigmoidal (φ) | −127.91 | 11.7817 | 0.0190503 | 269.81 | 7.79 |
| Modal (φ) | − 124.91 | 17.7756 | 0.0013651 | 263.82 | 1.80 |
The models were run without and then with a directional function (indicated here by phi, φ). P value to test significant difference to a model of constant speciation and extinction. Delta AIC (ΔAIC) calculated by comparing model to the best-fit, lowest AIC, model
