Knowledge graph centered on Phylogenetic Generalized Least Squares regression with 14 nodes and 23 connections. Top connected: alarm communication, phylogenetic signal, balancing selection, acoustic adaptation hypothesis, MHC class II.

Description

Used phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) regression and phylogenetic ANOVA to test relationships between acoustic call frequencies, body size, and habitat while controlling for evolutionary relationships among species.

Typical Equipment

  • R phylotools package
  • R package caper
  • R geiger package

Output Measurements

  • phylogenetic signal estimates
  • regression coefficients
  • model fit statistics
  • AIC values
