The 10 1 ratio of aquatic-to-terrestrial vs. terrestrial-to-aquatic transitions goes against the general trend observed in animals.
Clearly, aquatic-to-terrestrial habitat transitions are strikingly common in the Sciomyzidae.
Therefore, the DEC model-estimated ancestral states plotted on Figure 3 are those with Lagrange set to a 12 1 ratio of aquatic-to-terrestrial vs. terrestrial-to-aquatic transitions.
This procedure significantly estimated a terrestrial habitat for the sciomyzid ancestral lineage, a single terrestrial-to-aquatic transition and five unambiguous aquatic-to-terrestrial transitions.
However, our estimated evolutionary transitions within the Tetanocerini show the opposite pattern, with a 10 1 ratio of aquatic-to-terrestrial vs. terrestrial-to-aquatic transitions.
This model was used because the behavioral group optimization estimated a 10 1 ratio of aquatic-to-terrestrial versus terrestrial-to-aquatic transitions.
We found that the ancestor to Tetanocera was aquatic and five Tetanocera lineages made independent aquatic-to-terrestrial transitions and seven independent transitions in feeding behaviors.
Borda & Sidall [ 44] found multiple aquatic-to-terrestrial transitions in arynchobdellid leeches, and Rubinoff [ 45] found either multiple independent terrestrial-to-aquatic transitions or an evolutionary reversal to terrestrial habitats in one lineage of cosmopterigid moths in Hawaii.
So there appears to be a simple requirement for reptiles to be fully aquatic: to bear live young.
These extreme changes of anuran metamorphosis clearly demarcate the shift from an aquatic to a terrestrial mode of life.
