- Shown are best constant and best variable rate models selected from six candidate models. Tests of significance were conducted by simulating 5000 phylogenies under a constant birth-death model. The best constant model was rejected if the ΔAICrc was significant (two-tailed alpha = 0.05,[49]). DDL is a logistic density dependent model and rvbd is a rate-variable birth-death model. The best-fitting model is in bold.
