Interspecific comparisons on head morphology by accounting for phylogenetic signal

Sexes Phylogenetic signal (K) Divergence rates Integration: crest vs. not (r‐PLS) Modularity: crest vs. not (CR) D‐PGLS (F‐value)
Shape Size Species Landmarks
0.667** 0.884* 2.652ns 3.720** .870ns 1.060ns 1.826ns
0.835** 0.666ns 3.127ns 2.839* .912* 1.227ns 1.189ns

Significance is indicated by: **p‐value < .01, *p‐value < .05, ns p‐value > .05.

“r‐PLS” refers to the mean of pairwise PLS correlations (r) between trait partitions, a measurement of phylogenetic morphological integration under Brownian motion model (Adams & Felice, 2014).

“CR” or Covariance Ratio refers to modularity signal between two trait modules of Procrustes‐aligned landmark coordinates in a phylogenetic context (Adams, 2016).

“D‐PGLS” refers to the results of Phylogenetic Procrustes ANOVA (Adams et al., 2016).
