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
