Female defence species is coded as 0 and territory defence is coded as 1. Models are tested with Bininda-Emonds et al. [31] phylogeny across ungulates species (both Bovidae and Cervidae pooled). r represents effect size values and λ represents the index of phylogenetic covariance (see Methods section). The superscripts following the λ value indicate p-value of likelihood ratio tests against models with λ = 0 (first position) and λ = 1 (second position). *log transformed variables.
