Reduced levels of synonymous site diversity associated with in high rates of protein evolution in D. melanogaster. (A) Raw estimates of synonymous site diversity (πS) vs. nonsynonymous divergence (Ka). (B) Partial correlation residuals of πS versus Ka, correcting for KS. Negative residuals have been set to zero. (Dashed lines) Weighted average diversity across loci.
