Figure 3

Phylogenetic relationships of the focal plant species (a) with branch lengths given in million years (Myr). Correlations between phylogenetic independent contrasts (PICs; n=9) of the LR ratios (LRs) of (b) the number of partners and (c) the interaction frequency of plants in the plant–pollinator and plant–seed disperser mutualisms. Highlighted are the contrasts (nodes 1 and 2 in the phylogeny) of two closely related species pairs (1: Prunus padus and Sorbus aucuparia; 2: Frangula alnus and Rhamnus cathartica).
