  1. The correlations were estimated by Bayesian stochastic mapping across a sample of 500 post-burnin trees pruned to include only ingroup taxa. P-values statistically significant at P < 0.05 before Holm’s sequential Bonferroni correction are given in bold. See Supplementary Table S1 for detailed results.
