Regressions were conducted on the phylogenies of Rabosky et al. (2018) and Betancur-R et al. (2013), and with or without filtering pairs for mutual monophyly of formal taxa (Mono. Filter). Data is shown for mitochondrial sequences with rRNA (Mito.All) and without (Mito.Coding). Nuclear data consists of RAG1 only for the Rabosky tree and of 19 nuclear marker from the Euteleost tree of life (ETOL) for the Betancur tree. Total, synonymous (dS) and nonsynonymous (dN) substitution rates are tested as predictors of clade size. t statistics and P values are for Wald tests. Results with P < 0.05 are in italics
