  1. Result of MCMCglmm analysis with phylogenetic relationship incorporated. Response variable is the number of convergent substitutions per gene. Phylogenetic signal of the residuals was 0.81 (95% CI 0.72–0.88). Effect size (η2) of plunge-diving behavior was 0.08 (calculated from an ordinary least squares regression fit using lm in R), indicative of a medium-sized effect36.
