N=18 species for conventional analysis and 11 contrasts for PIC analysis.

For gradual evolution, branch lengths from Fig. 1 were used and for speciational model, branch lengths were set to 1.

M_b, body mass; R, forewing length; S, total wing area; Pw, calculated wing loading; NS, not significant.
