Positively selected sites from PAML 4.0 [45] using Bayes Empirical Bayes analysis [72]. Only codons with greater than 95% posterior probabilities to be under positive selection were listed with the corresponding posterior probabilities shown in parentheses. Highlighted in bold were codons that were not associated with egg-adapted substitutions [62], [63], [64].
