Using phylogenetic information and the comparative method to evaluate hypotheses in macroecology
(2013)
It is widely recognized that macroecological patterns are not independent of the evolution of the lineages involved in generating these patterns. While many researchers have begun to evaluate the effect of ancestor-descendant ...
The More, the Better: The Use of Multiple Landmark Configurations to Solve the Phylogenetic Relationships in Musteloids
(Oxford University Press, 2015-03)
Although the use of landmark data to study shape changes along a phylogenetic tree has become a common practice in evolutionary studies, the role of this sort of data for the inference of phylogenetic relationships remains ...
Environmental correlates of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the Atlantic Forest
(2021-01-01)
Aim: There is little consensus on which environmental variables are best at predicting multiple dimensions of diversity. We ask whether there are common environmental correlates of diversity, despite ecological differences, ...
Phylogenetic analysis of flatfish (order pleuronectiformes) based on mitochondrial 16s rDNA sequences
(2005-12-01)
The phylogenetic relationships of the order Pleuronectiformes are controversial and at some crucial points remain unresolved. To date most phylogenetic studies on this order have been based on morpho-anatomical criteria, ...
Disentangling the Phylogenetic and Ecological Components of Spider Phenotypic Variation
(Public Library Science, 2014-02-19)
An understanding of how the degree of phylogenetic relatedness influences the ecological similarity among species is crucial to inferring the mechanisms governing the assembly of communities. We evaluated the relative ...
Plant phylogenetic diversity of tropical mountaintop rocky grasslands: local and regional constraints
(2019-12-01)
Mountains are interesting systems for studying patterns of diversity distribution and the role of environmental filters and competition on community assembly. According to the phylogenetic niche conservatism theory, the ...
