Major patterns of TE evolution across the evolutionary history of ray-finned fishes. a) The relative abundance of DNA, LTR, LINE, SINE transposons, and unknown transposons relative to actinopteryigiian phylogeny are shown. b) Total TE % and absolute genome size in the context of evolutionary history are compared. c) Results of a phylogenetic generalized least-squares regression to assess the relationship between genome size and TE abundance are provided. d) TE % and genome size between teleosts and nonteleost actinopterygians are compared. Shadings in (a) correspond to elements labeled in the panel. Shadings in (b) correspond to high (light or dark) and low values (dark or light) in the upper and lower panels, respectively. Shadings in (c) correspond to the labels in (a) for individual elements. Panels in (d) correspond to the quantiles of each category with dark horizontal lines indicating the mean value.
