Description

A standard comparative method that controls for evolutionary relationships among species by analyzing evolutionary changes along phylogenetic branches rather than raw species values. Uses software to test for phylogenetic signal and perform regression analyses on evolutionarily independent data points.

Typical Equipment

  • Phylogenetic Independence 2.0 software
  • Compare Version 4.6b software

Output Measurements

  • phylogenetically independent contrast values
  • evolutionary correlation coefficients
