Table 1 V and P values of within-hexapod group comparisons of dN/dS and CDC between reproductive modes. Values were inferred by comparing dN/dS and CDC per gene between the sexual and asexual lineages in each of eight hexapod groups using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Underlined and bold measures indicate more effective purifying selection in sexual species (underlined) and asexual species (bold), respectively (see Fig. 2a,b). Coll.: Collembola; Zyg.: Zygentoma; Phas.: Phasmatodea; Man.: Mantodea; Thys.: Thysanoptera; Stern.: Sternorrhyncha; Hym.: Hymenoptera; Psoc.: Psocodea.
