  1. GC contents were the dependent variables, and growth temperatures were the independent variables. The results in this table were obtained using the Brownian motion model. Similar results obtained from three other models are deposited in Additional file 1: Tables S8-S10. PBH, Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P value. Please see Table 1 for the meanings of the other abbreviations
