Patterns of decreasing returns in proteomes of Kingdoms and Superkingdoms. a Slope b vs. intercept L 1 plot. Slope and coefficients of determination (R2) values for correlations in organismal groups are shown for each fitted line. Most fungi exhibited the largest L 1 intercepts were largest for most fungi and smallest for a substantial number of plants and metazoans. Most metazoans exhibited the steepest b slopes and most plants and protists the shallowest. b Total number of domains vs. intercept L 1 plot. The total number of domains is the total count of protein domains in proteome analyzed. Dashed trend lines described non-significant fits (p > 0.05)
