Note: Within‐family species richness were all adjusted for the biotic constraints of sympatric species using the SESAM framework and fit with two competing models: For each family, Model 1 comprises only within‐family species richness and Model 2 comprises within‐family species richness and a quadratic term for within‐family species richness. Model fit was assessed using the Watanabe–Akaike information criterion (WAIC)
