Figure 3

Branches are coloured according to the relative contribution of gene expression and sequence divergence (measured with RRBL): high values indicate increased divergence in gene expression values. Branches with RRBL values within the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the simulated distribution under BM (no selection on gene expression) are coloured black. Inset graph shows the distribution of RRBL values per branch in the different lineages (NAA; NAP; and Andean clade) and for data simulated under a Brownian motion model (that is, without selection on gene expression values, denoted BM). Black arrows indicate the two nodes with the highest number of shifts in optimal expression values of individual genes (number of genes preferring shift at each node are indicated), based on analysis of selection using Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models.
