Regressions between life-history traits with and without correction for phylogenetic signal.

The first line is a regression between log(spVL) and dsCD4. The second line tests if values for a given trait vary across risk groups. OLS is the ordinary generalised least square without phylogenetic correction (a generalised linear model yielded similar results); RegBM indicates a correction based on the tree assuming Brownian motion. SE stands for ‘Standard Error’. For further details, see the Supplementary Methods. Significance code for the p-value of the test is ‘’ , ‘’ , ‘’ and ‘n.s.’ for non sognificant.
