  1. *Results of colonization pathway estimations for SD and LDD models with inferences using DEC versus DEC + j, and BayArea versus BayArea + j. Bolded lines correspond to best fitting models, each of which represent LDD events estimated under DEC and DEC + j, that collectively account for 0.99 of the Akaike weights. SD refers to models incorporating terrestrial and short distance marine pathways of dispersal, while LDD also incorporates long distance marine dispersal pathways; the addition of a + j, indicates that colonization pathways were inferred with the founder event parameter. BAY refers to models estimated using a likelihood version of BayArea while DEC refers to models estimated using a dispersal extinction cladogenesis model
