Table 1 Phylogenetic signal analysis for species abundance, distribution range and host range of spider mite

		Blomberg’s K		Abouheif’s C
		K	p value	C	p value
China	Relative abundance	1.032	0.033	0.405	0.013
	Host range	1.263	0.009	0.395	0.025
	Latitudinal span	1.708	0.001	0.500	0.005

Blomberg’s K [6] and Abouheif’s C test [1] are two measures of phylogenetic signal. Traits with probabilities < 0.05 were considered to have significant phylogenetic signal. Higher C/K value indicate stronger phylogenetic signal
