Table A1. Log-likelihoods and model support for three alternative models for discrete character evolution of non-rock- or rock-dwelling in tropidurid lizards, assuming non-rock-dwelling as the ancestral condition.
ER: equal-rates model, assumes backward and forward transitions between habitat types occur at the same rate. ARD: all-rates different, permits different forward and backward transition rates. Directional: assumes that evolution invariably proceeds from non-rock-dwelling to rock-dwelling, and never the reverse. Even after accounting for model complexity. ARD is the best-supported of these three models.
Model | log(L) | d.f. | AIC |
---|---|---|---|
ER | −43.37 | 1 | 88.75 |
ARD | −41.27 | 2 | 86.55 |
Directional | −46.25 | 1 | 94.51 |
