Partial correlations between change in selective constraint (ω) and change ecological and signaling traits

Δ ω^a	Δ trait^b	pr^c	p	df
LW	Spectra	0.11	0.64	19
	Habitat	−0.23	0.31
	Activity	0.54	0.01*
UV	Spectra	0.23	0.29	21

Change in ω values between branches obtained from PAML free-ratio branch models. Branches with ω > 900 (signifying a branch on which there were no synonymous substitutions) were removed prior to analysis.

Change in traits determined using PIC values.
