Figure S2: P-value distributions for multivariate models predicting extinction risk
Comparisons of a set of seven univariate and multivariate models predicting extinction risk from
biological traits, where extinction risk is coded as (a) a binary or (b) an ordinal variable.
Histograms show the distributions of ∆AIC values for 1000 tests using alternative phylogenies
from the posterior distribution.
(a) binary extinction risk
(b) ordinal extinction risk
