Table 2.

Summary statistics for the standard effect size of the mean pair-wise phylogenetic distance between species to test for divergence (high p-value) or clustering (low p-value) of phylogenetic relationships of coflowering communities when compared with the regional distribution of species (using the ‘phylogeny shuffle’ randomization technique).
