Testing for correlated evolution between rates of nucleotide substitutions, unconverted to a binary state character, and symbiotic states as a binary character

Data set (nrDNA) Rate Rate 1 Rate 2 Likelihood ratio P

Higher Rate 1 coefficients reveal a faster rate of evolution in mutualistic lineages.
