Figure 4. — Elevated rates of protein evolution (d_N/d_S) associated with hotspots of beak shape morphological diversification. Shown are d_N/d_S values for selected hotspot branches for 36 genes detected with d_N/d_S > 1. The black dotted line formally indicates neutrality (d_N/d_S = 1) and asterisks indicate genes for which the branch-specific estimate d_N/d_S is significantly different from 1 (e.g., indicative of positive selection). Hotspots 1, 2, and 3 refer to the branches of the tree with the fastest, second fastest, and third fastest rates of beak shape morphological change, respectively (Supplemental Fig. S3). For visualization purposes are large d_N/d_S values truncated at 5.2 (the estimate for SKAP2).
