Maximum likelihood estimated (MLE) values for the top 95 % cumulative BIC models. Symbols show the MLE and lines indicate univariate 95 % confidence intervals. The outlined triangles show the birth=innovation (b=i) rate estimates and the solid triangles show the deletion (d) rate estimates. Estimates for birth and deletion rates (λ, b, and d) are in units of “per gene copy per My,” while estimates of innovation rates (i) are in units of “per gene family per My.” The BIC weight of each model is indicated on the far right. On the y-axis, the autosomal gene categories are abbreviated as “Aut,” the singleton categories are labeled “singletons,” and, if a gene category has lineage heterogeneity, its parameters are labeled with either “Hominini” or Old World Monkey (“OWM”). The colours of the symbols highlight gene heterogeneity in all of the models and correspond to different gene categories as indicated in the symbol key on the right
