TreeSAAP results for cox1 analysis of the two S. spindale samples reveal that isoelectric point and short and medium range non-bonded energy show the most prominent signs adaptation. Only changes with P < 0.001 (***) are regarded as highly significant and useful in terms of adaptation. These adaptive changes in isoelectric point have been previously linked which adaptive changes to abiotic pressures.
