Phylogeny determines flower size-dependent sex allocation at flowering in a hermaphroditic family
(2017-11-01)
In animal-pollinated hermaphroditic plants, optimal floral allocation determines relative investment into sexes, which is ultimately dependent on flower size. Larger flowers disproportionally increase maleness whereas ...
Phylogenetic signal in the skull of cowbirds (Icteridae) assessed by multivariate and cladistic approaches
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-05)
Closely related species are expected to resemble each other because of inheritance of features from their common ancestors, which are therefore said to carry phylogenetic signal. Cowbirds (Molothrus) are icterids well known ...
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 ...

Cladistic analysis of continuous modularized traits provides phylogenetic signals in Homo evolution
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2008)
Evolutionary novelties in the skeleton are usually expressed as changes in the timing of growth of features intrinsically integrated at different hierarchical levels of development(1). As a consequence, most of the shape- ...
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 ...
Revisiting the drivers of acoustic similarities in tropical anuran assemblages
(2021-01-01)
Acoustic signaling is key in mediating mate choice, which directly impacts individual fitness. Because background noise and habitat structure can impair signal transmission, the acoustic space of mixed-species assemblages ...
The evolution of signal-reward correlations in bee- and hummingbirdpollinated species of Salvia
(The Royal Society, 2014-03)
Within-individual variation in floral advertising and reward traits is a feature experienced by pollinators that visit different flowers of the same plant. Pollinators can use advertising traits to gather information about ...
Weak Phylogenetic Signal For Specialisation In Antagonistic Liana-tree Networks
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON, 2015)
Phylogenetic diversity and coevolutionary signals among trophic levels change across a habitat edge gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-10)
1. Incorporating the evolutionary history of species into community ecology enhances understanding of community composition, ecosystem functioning and responses to environmental changes. 2. Phylogenetic history might ...
