Indices of phylogenetic signal for variables depicting the geography of distribution, the thermal environment and thermal performance. p-values are based on 10 000 permutations: (.), p < 0.1; ***p < 0.001. Indices significantly different from 0 are shown in italic. A short key to the interpretation of indices: constrained evolution relative to Brownian motion if Moran's I (max. range: −1; +1) >0, Bloomberg's K (0; >1) >1, and Pagel's λ (0; 1) ≈0.5.
