Table 1. Effect sizes and significance of traits pre- and post-cladistic analysis.

All clades Zoonotic clades Non-zoonotic clades
Vector 1.4* 0.62 −0.16**
Envelope 0.87 1.2* −0.36**
Cytoplasmic replication 1.8** 0.88 −0.38***

Notes:

The associations between zoonotic history and traits such as enveloped, vector-borne, and cytoplasmic replication are sensitive to the inclusion/exclusion of non-zoonotic clades due to the traits’ cladistic signal. Here, effect sizes (difference in linear predictors) are presented for the all viruses in the original trait-based analysis, the zoonotic clades (removal of non-zoonotic clades found in Fig. 2), and non-zoonotic clades. The direction of the effect of all three traits is conserved, but the magnitude and relative significance changes, as these traits are strongly associated with non-zoonotic clades.

Asterisks indicate significance levels *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 from Chi-squared tests of the deviance from generalized additive models.
