Table 6.
A summary of the analyses for significant phylogenetic signal (Blomberg’s K) in the A) traits and B) trait plasticity of amphibian embryos exposed to predatory cues (√ = p < 0.05). Detailed statistics can be found in Tables 1-5. To better understand how phylogenetic signal was affected by the numerators and denominators of several of the plasticity estimates, we also assessed phylogenetic signal in the C) grand means [GM] and pooled standard deviations [SD1 and SD2].
