This analysis was performed separately for tests of phylogenetic signal and for those of ecological signal, as the tested hypotheses differ. Probabilities are given in increasing order and are numbered in Arabic or Roman numerals for phylogenetic and ecological signal, respectively, as in Tables 1, 2, 4. Note that, in this case, every probability considered significant when taken in isolation remains significant after false discovery rate analysis. FIC, Felsenstein independent contrasts.
