Comparing the proportion of genes under positive selection between the branches with dual changes and branches with host–plant shifts only shows a marginally significant difference with Dataset 1 and no difference with Dataset 2 ( P = 0.0327/0.1471 for the two datasets, respectively, Wilcoxon rank-sum test; Fig. 4d and Supplementary Fig.

The sentences
The dN/dS analyses on branches with host–plant shifts (combined or not with environmental shifts) showed more genes with a subset of codons evolving under positive selection (dN/dS > 1) in lineages shifting to a new plant family, although the difference was marginally non-significant for the smallest dataset and highly significant for the second dataset containing more genes (Fig. 4b , Supplementary Fig.
