  1. a: 2ΔL scores with an absolute value of 0 to 10 indicate weak support, >10 to 30 indicate strong support, and >30 indicate very strong support for the favored hypothesis [48]. Scores are calculated so that positive values indicate support for Hypothesis 2, and negative values indicate support for Hypothesis 1.
