ω - dN/dS; nearly neutral with β - for all sites dN/dS ≤ 1 and the beta distribution approximates ω variation; positive selection - a proportion of sites evolves with dN/dS > 1; lnL - Log-likelihood value; ΔAIC - the difference between the value of the AIC of a given model and the best model; p0 - proportion of sites with dN/dS ≤ 1, p1 - proportion of positively selected sites (dN/dS > 1), ω1 - estimated value of ω for sites under positive selection.
