a Phylorate plots showing the most probable macroevolutionary rate shift configurations (and their frequencies, f) for the evolution of each trait across the phylogeny. Branch colors denote instantaneous rates (cold colors = slow, warm = fast). Circles denote the location of shifts in phenotypic rates. b Rate-through-time plots for phenotypic evolution rate (with 95% CI indicated by shaded areas) obtained using Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures. c Phenograms from the ‘bayou’ analyses showing the distribution of each trait against the phylogeny. The curve in red (right panel) shows the distribution of the optimum/optima among lineages. d Macroevolutionary landscapes for those traits in which the FPK model was the best model or received high statistical support estimated using ‘BBMV’ [53] (see main text for details)
