Palindrome bias is the test that palindromes are more biased than the remaining words. O/E displays the ratio observed/expected of the mean rank of palindromes sorted by decreasing avoidance. RMS avoidance is the result of the Wilcoxon test that RS are more biased than the remained palindromes.

Abbreviations: NA, unknown RMS on the species; n*, rank of the sole RS known in the species for 4-palindromes (not enough elements for nonparametric statistics); —, underrepresentation (P-value <0.001); -, underrepresentation (P-value <0.05); 0, no bias. See Methods for species abbreviations.
