Knowledge graph centered on Phylogenetically independent contrasts with 61 nodes and 130 connections. Top connected: Marmota flaviventris, Hummingbird, Inter-specific variation in avian responses to hum, Does sociality drive the evolution of communicativ, Spermophilus lateralis.
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.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 4 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — A trait-based approach to the evolution of complex coalitions in male mammals (2009), Behavioral Ecology. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
