The overall association between geographic traits and phylogeny was assessed by AI and PS (Table 3).
Our novel contribution is to show that depth-related geographic traits are more important for explaining risk than geographic range per se.
Patterns of geographic trait covariation can also arise if one species adapts to another but not vice versa (i.e., unilateral evolution instead of coevolution).
Thus, although the orchids are not directly involved in a coevolutionary race with the flies, coevolution still affects them indirectly because they have to keep pace with the coevolutionary race between the flies and other rewarding plants, leading to identical patterns of geographic trait matching (Fig. 5).
