Lineage-specific synonymous-site (A) and replacement-site divergence (B) for quartiles of recombination rate in C. briggsae, in genome comparisons with C. remanei and C. elegans as outgroups. ANOVA models that include recombination rate, codon bias, background nucleotide composition, chromosome of origin, divergence, and their first-order interactions provide statistical support for the positive dS-recombination and dN-recombination associations. Error bars indicate ±1 standard error.
