Table 1. Number of paralogous gene pairs with a high divergence rate of protein sequence and/or expression in the high and low morphological diversification groups.

Morphological divergence Protein Divergent expression Not divergent expression p-valuec
High Divergent 16 30 (59%)b 0.21
Not divergent 21 (41%)a 76
Low Divergent 13 32 (67%)b 0.02
Not divergent 16 (33%)a 116
High or Low Divergent 29 62 (63%)b 0.01
Not divergent 37 (37%)a 193

a Proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher expression divergence but no protein divergence.

b Proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher protein divergence but no expression divergence.

c Null hypothesis is that the proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher expression divergence is the same proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher protein divergence.
