Figure S9 - Differences MuSSE hindgut microbiota macroevolutionary rates MCMC

Differences in rates computed from the MCMC analyses using the best MuSSE model for the gut microbiota. The compound figure shows: 1) the differences between speciation rates as made by pair comparisons; 2) the differences between extinction rates; and 3) the differences between net diversification rates. Only the lineages with an entirely prokaryotic gut microbiota have a significant different net diversification rates (i.e. no posterior distribution overlaps with the red line). Eusocial lineages with an entirely prokaryotic hindgut microbiota diversified faster than other lineages (cellulolytic flagellates or no specialized microbiota for lignocellulose digestion).
