1 3 1TABLE S2. Significant phylogenetic eigenvectors and their relative importance in phylogenetic

2eigenvector regression models for flowering and fruiting. Phylogenetic eigenvectors were

3extracted from phylogeny of the studies species. A total of 45 and 23 eigenvectors were extracted

4for flowering and fruiting, respectively. These eigenvectors describe phylogenetic structures of

5different evolutionary depths.
