Fig. 3: Causal effects of different parameters on branch length, gene order rearrangement rate (GORR), and mitogenome length inferred using brms.
From: Drivers of interlineage variability in mitogenomic evolutionary rates in Platyhelminthes
The tested exposure variables are shown on the y-axis. For the first analysis, we used the full Platyhelminthes dataset (data_full_scm) and for the other two, we used the parasitic Neodermata dataset (data_parasitic_scm). Parameter estimates show standardised posterior means and 95% CI (credible intervals). GC is GC skew, omega is the dN/dS ratio, and GORR is the gene order rearrangement rate. “Parasitism” indicates that the Platyhelminthes dataset was divided into non-parasitic turbellaria (0) and parasitic Neodermata (1), and “thermal” indicates that Neodermata were divided into lineages with endothermic (1) and ectothermic (0) hosts.
