Traits are ranked by increasing observed D-statistic value (Dobs); p(Dobs<1) is the significance level in the test of random distribution of traits along phylogeny, and p(Dobs>0) in the test against the expected by the Brownian evolutionary model. For abbreviations see Table 1. Traits highly (Dobs< 0) and moderately (0 < Dobs< 1) conserved are bolded.
Phylogenetic conservatism tests for bird and ant functional traits.
