Fig. 4: Comparison of diversification models for four bird clades exemplifying different patterns.
From: Universal probabilistic programming offers a powerful approach to statistical phylogenetics
Alcedinidae: simple models are adequate; Muscicapidae: slowing diversification but no or weak lineage-specific effects; Accipitridae: gradual (ClaDS) lineage-specific changes in diversification; and Lari: evidence for both gradual (ClaDS) and for punctuated (BAMM and LSBDS) lineage-specific changes in diversification. The top row shows the estimated marginal likelihoods (log scale; violin plots with a dot marking the median estimate). A difference of 5 units (scale bar) is considered strong evidence in favor of the better model67. The remaining rows show estimated posterior distributions for different model parameters specified along the left margin. The μ distributions are shown with dashed lines, all other distributions with unbroken lines. The colors represent different models (see legend).
