Additional filesAdditional file 1: Nexus matrix and phylogeny. Sequence alignment of seabirds (Charadriiformes, Pelecaniformes and Procellariiformes) used for building the phylogeny in the nexus format. The majority rule and ultrametric phylogenies can be visualised in Treeview. Format: NEX Size: 5.6MB Download file Additional file 2: Morphological, ecological and parasite richness data. The morphological measures include body mass (grams), body size (centimetres), bill length (millimetres) and wingspan (centimetres). The ecological variables are global population size (number of individuals), maximum longevity (months), geographic range (in km square), clutch size (average). The latter measures are log-transformed averages. Parasite richness measures are total number of species, Ichnocera species, Amblycera species and total number of genera. Diving behaviour is included as a categorical variable [1 = diving, 2 = non diving]. The raw data and associated references can be obtained from [53].

List of models tested in R with actual values (non-phylogenetic) and contrasts (phylogenetic). Format: DOC Size: 24KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Microsoft Word Viewer |
