a–c, Estimates of dN/dS for cyt-RPs (n = 67) and mt-RPs (n = 67) (a), cyt-ARSs (n = 22) and mt-ARSs (n = 11) (b) and protein subunits of the OXPHOS enzyme complexes (n = 29, 4, 6, 11 and 12 for complexes I, II, III, IV and V, respectively) (c). a and b show the results of ANCOVAs that account for gene expression levels (**P < 0.01; NS, not significant). c shows the results of Mann-Whitney U-tests comparing complex II with each of the other complexes (*P < 0.05). Boxplots report the median, lower and upper quartiles, with whiskers extending to 1.5 times the interquartile range; single points are data beyond this range.
