Table 1.

Effect of isolation on islands on group size effects (GSE).

independent variable state dependent variable state p-value
all 32 populations gained GSE remained without GSE
mainland 8 3 0.016
island 2 9
kept GSE lost GSE
mainland 18 6 0.507
island 11 6
23 populations only gained GSE remained without GSE
mainland 0 2 >0.9
island 0 4
kept GSE lost GSE
mainland 14 3 >0.9
island 17 5

p-values from the contingent states test that evaluates the hypothesis that evolutionary change in the presence of group size effects is more or less likely when a population is in a particular independent variable state (i.e. found on the mainland or on an island).
