Fig. 3: Absolute differences in the chemical traits of species that belong to the same family, but live in different regions, are explained by phylogenetic differences, alone.

A Distribution plots of raw data across the Caribbean (green) and Polynesia (purple) for each chemical trait (labels on x-axis of panel C). “**” indicates statistical significance as determined from the global model in Question 1 (n = 1266, 1133, 1123, 1255, 1255, 1255, 1255, 1255, and 1255 individuals, respective to the traits labeled in C). B Absolute means (symbols) and standard deviations (lines) from raw data of chemical traits for each of the twelve families that are represented in both regions. Chemical trait data points for each family pair with shaded gray backgrounds indicate absolute trait differences quantified by ANOVA. Values associated with “*” indicate trait differences that are beyond what would be predicted by evolutionary history. Empty spaces for Ostraciidae are due to missing data for this family for these traits. C Distributions of the residual error from each model (ANOVA = gray, Phylogenetic model = white) for each trait.
