a Distribution of estimated shape parameters defining the macroevolutionary landscape of trophic level in pharyngognaths (red) and related non-pharyngognathous lineages (blue) parameterized using BBMV (n = 3490 species). Overlaid boxplots display the median and interquartile range of the distribution. b Macroevolutionary landscape of trophic level in pharyngognaths (red) and related non-pharyngognathous lineages (blue) parameterized using BBMV. Caricatures underneath the x-axis represent typical prey fed upon at the corresponding trophic levels. c Landscapes of pharyngognaths and nonpharyngognaths, excluding one pharyngognath clade at a time. d Relative model weights of character-independent diversification models (CID-4 and CID-2), hidden-state speciation and extinction models (HiSSE), and binary-state speciation and extinction model (BiSSE) (n = 9323 species). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
