Positive selection on two mitochondrial coding genes and adaptation signals in hares (genus Lepus) from China

Table 3 Variable importance values for the factors considered in the models of amino acid substitutions (values above 0.7—0.8 indicate significant factor effects)

^a i.e., for the Cytb loucs; for the MT-Cytb models there was no chance to account for the co-occurring protein variants at the MT-ND4 locus, because of too many variants for that latter locus
