Comparison of the BDSKY and CoMET model performance with the empirical conifer dataset (Leslie et al. 2012): BDSKY was run under Model C. We explored models with one and multiple rate shifts (shown here are the best models with three and five rate shifts). CoMET was run under the same settings used by May et al. 2016. CoMET detected a major event of mass extinction at about 23 million years ago. BDSKY indicated a drop in the net diversification to r < 0 at about 43 or 34 million years ago, dependent on the number of rate shifts, and an increase in net diversification to r > 0 at 3 million years ago. BDSKY, suggests that the two nonsignificant MEEs (2 < BF < 6) detected by CoMET at 173 and 77 million years ago (May et al. 2016), are not true MEEs (ε > 1), but rather low‐magnitude rate‐shifts in μ.
