Reconstructed evolution of skull roof compactness in lepidosaurs. Phylogeny based on Pyron, Burbrink, and Wiens [41] with a time-calibration in accordance with Ramm et al. [42] pruned to the sampled taxa. Continuous trait mapping was performed with maximum likelihood (phytools package [44]). Tree was supplemented with stratigraphy (strap package [48]) and visualisation of selected taxa [180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193,194]. Reconstructed evolution of fossoriality is indicated in accordance with complete phylogeny (Fig. 1)
