K(r)/K(c) but not d(N)/d(S) correlates positively with body mass in birds, raising implications for inferring lineage-specific selection

BACKGROUND: The ratio of the rates of non-synonymous and synonymous substitution (d(N)/d(S)) is commonly used to estimate selection in coding sequences. It is often suggested that, all else being equal, d(N)/d(S) should be lower in populations with large effective size (N(e)) due to increased effica...
