a Phylogenetic independent contrasts for both global recombination rate and euchromatin corrected recombination rate with genome size and genome size without LTR retrotransposons. Size estimates were log2 transformed for normality to satisfy assumptions of phylogenetic independent contrasts and parametric correlations. b Global recombination rate plotted against total LTR retrotransposon content as well as the proportions of copia and gypsy superfamilies. c Gene density is based on gene number and genome size estimate from literature. d Plots of recombination rate vs average gene family size based on both the 11,250 families that span the root as well as smallest 75 % of gene families. The best-fit linear regression is given for each contrast plot
