Fig. 4From: Dietary specialization drives multiple independent losses and gains in the bitter taste gene repertoire of Laurasiatherian MammalsThe impact of dietary content and behaviour on the intact TAS2R genes repertoire, as revealed by a PIC analysis. a significant positive correlation of PICs in total number of intact genes with PICs in diet content code (herbivores and/or insectivores:1, omnivores: 0.5, carnivores: 0). b the first sub-dataset (insectivores:1, omnivores: 0.5, carnivores: 0): a significantly positive correlation of PICs in total number of intact genes with PICs in diet content code. c the second sub-dataset (herbivores:1, omnivores: 0.5, carnivores: 0; not including tylopods): a significantly positive correlation of PICs in total number of intact genes with PICs in diet content. d significant positive correlation of PICs in total number of intact genes with PICs in foraging behaviour code (swallowing food whole: 0, chewing food: 1). The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (ρ) with a one-tailed P value was used to evaluate the associationBack to article page
