aProportion of adaptive changes is done using Shapiro et al. (2007)’s method of correction [3]. bA2 is based on the PAML-M2a model. cA2 is based on the PAML-BEB model. dP < 10–7 by Fisher's exact test, given 53.6 as the expected value. eP < 0.002 by Fisher's exact test, given 91.6 as the expected value.
