Comments on Gpuccio: Functional Information Methodology

Can someone explain to me what’s in this graph?

I see three curves, what are they derived from? Are those names of clades on the red dotted line? What’s “cart”? “afro”? “mars”? Should there be a line between them? I’m getting DAP vibes from this.

I get some vague sense that it’s about some proteins that grew in size during their previous 500 million year history in some lineages in some clades. Okay. And?
