  1. Symbols and abbreviations: BM, Brownian motion; clade, models with different parameters for each clade; EB, early boost (high σ at the base of the tree); slice, a model with a significant shift at a given time slice, here selected at 93.9 million years ago (Cenomanian/Turonian boundary); Stasis, a model with strong α towards a given θ; OU, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck; OUM, multi‐peak OU model (multiple regimes within individual θ values) with fixed values of α and σ; OUMV, multi‐peak OU model with fixed values of α and σ as a free parameter; OUMA, multi‐peak OU model with fixed values of σ and α as a free parameter; OUMVA, multi‐peak OU model with both σ and α as free parameters; Trend, a model following a given linear trend (given α constant). Partitioned models are abbreviated as: 3p, three portioned model with Hadrosauridae, Hadrosauroidea and non-hadrosauroid Ornithischia; 2pDae, two partitioned model with Hadrosauridae and non-hadrosaurid Ornithischia; 2pOidea, two partitioned model with Hadrosauroidea and non-hadrosauroid Ornithischia.
