Knowledge graph centered on Phylogenetically independent contrasts with 29 nodes and 77 connections. Top connected: Inter-specific variation in avian responses to hum, Does sociality drive the evolution of communicativ, antipredator behavior, A trait-based approach to the evolution of complex, Social network analysis (Sciuridae).
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
