Figure Lengend Snippet: Ortho-Mit: orthoplasy and mitigation, Only-Mag: magnification only, Only-mit: Mitigation only, Only-Ortho: Orthoplasy only, Only-Para: Paraplasy only. The plasticity categories Ortho-Mag, Para-Mit and Para-Mag were excluded due to having too few genes (see Fig. ) and therefore too high variance. A Ka/Ks ratio, B Ks between A. lyrata and A. thaliana , C Ka between A. lyrata and A. thaliana , D average π per gene, E Tajima’s D for synonymous sites and F nonsynonymous sites in A. lyrata . Significance between the groups was estimated based on pairwise comparison of 1000 bootstrap replicates, by using the union of the bootstrap values to calculate what proportion of the differences between the groups significantly differed from 0, multiplied by 2, to account for the fact that the test is one-sided. Box and whiskers depict the 75th and 95 th interquantile ranges, respectively, dots show outliers. No shared letters mean that the groups are different with a significance cut-off at p < 0.05. P -values of all pairwise comparisons can be found in Supplementary Data . G Relative change in mean Tajima’s D for non-synonymous sites between A. lyrata and A. thaliana . (( A. lyrata + 2) / ( A. thaliana + 2)) and H Cumulative distribution function of the gamma distribution for the control and the 5 classes of plasticity. OrthoMag, ParaMit and ParaMag were removed due to the low number of genes in these plasticity classes.
