Results of partial tests of relationships between selected individual anatomical traits of plants (in rows) and their adult plant height and elevation.

<p>AH headed columns refer to ahistorical comparisons (i.e without phylogenetic corrections), while PC headed columns refer to models with a correction for phylogenetic relatedness. Individual cells in AH and PC columns show Type I error probability estimates (adjusted by Bonferroni correction within test families) or ns when adjusted with P≥0.10. The percentage of trait variation explained by phylogenetic relatedness (Evol) between the species, and ecological preferences (Ecol) in the phylogeny-corrected analysis, are shown. Response (Res) columns show positive (+) or negative (−) relationships between the anatomic trait value and the predictor.
