Column two: Likelihood ratio value for testing whether phylogenetic signal must be accounted for (λ ≠ 0). Column three: p-value for testing λ = 0. Column four: p-value for testing non-independence using BayesTraits. Column five: where phylogenetic corrections were not necessary, the R² for the raw correlation. Column six: p-value for significance of raw regression. Significant p-values are in bold. Genes with a significant effect are italicized.
