Statistics for the regression of the standardized contrasts of coloration on toxicity, under the punctuational and gradual models of evolutionary change, using observer- and computer-rated estimates of coloration

Model Rating Contrasts Tandem R2 F value t value P value
Punctuational Observer 17 14 0.51 16.43 4.10 0.001
Gradual Observer 17 13 0.38 9.83 3.14 0.006
Punctuational Computer 17 15 0.83 78.89 8.88 0.000
Gradual Computer 17 15 0.71 38.27 6.19 0.000

Tandem refers to the number of contrasts in which toxicity and coloration evolved in the same direction.
