Figure 2From: Correlates of substitution rate variation in mammalian protein-coding sequencesNuclear results. Plots of nuclear synonymous substitution rate against body mass (a-b), maximum recorded lifespan (c-d), generation time (e-f), and fecundity (g-h). Substitution rates were estimated from a concatenated alignment of six loci. Two species with outlying lifespan values are shown as asterisks in (c) and (d), and (c) includes the regression lines for both the complete set of points (solid line), and with these two outlying values excluded (dashed line). All other details are as for Figure 1.Back to article page
