DISI | −0.12 | 0.16 |
LAO | 0.01 | 0.84 |
CRISP | 0.26 | 0.003* |

Abbreviations for venom traits are given in Table 3. Diet was measured as composite trait PC 1 based on % mammals and % lizards in diet and has a high negative loading for % mammals and high positive loading for % lizards (see above).
represents a p-value that remained significant after a FDR-based adjustment of critical p-value to 0.017 based on number of comparisons.
