Trait Evolution on Phylogenetic Networks 3
14 Species may evolve on a reticulate network due to hybridization or other gene flow rather than 15 on a strictly bifurcating tree, but comparative methods to deal with trait evolution on a network 16 are lacking. We create such a method, which uses a Brownian motion model. Our method seeks 17 to separately or jointly detect a bias in trait value coming from hybridization (í µí»½) and a burst ...
متن کاملA Relaxed Drift Diffusion Model for Phylogenetic Trait Evolution
Understanding the processes that give rise to quantitative measurements associated with molecular sequence data remains an important issue in statistical phylogenetics. Examples of such measurements include geographic coordinates in the context of phylogeography and phenotypic traits in the context of comparative studies. A popular approach is to model the evolution of continuously varying trai...
متن کاملA key ecological trait drove the evolution of biparental care and monogamy in an amphibian.
Linking specific ecological factors to the evolution of parental care pattern and mating system is a difficult task of key importance. We provide evidence from comparative analyses that an ecological factor (breeding pool size) is associated with the evolution of parental care across all frogs. We further show that the most intensive form of parental care (trophic egg feeding) evolved in concer...
متن کاملPhylogenetic ANOVA: The Expression Variance and Evolution Model for Quantitative Trait Evolution.
A number of methods have been developed for modeling the evolution of a quantitative trait on a phylogeny. These methods have received renewed interest in the context of genome-wide studies of gene expression, in which the expression levels of many genes can be modeled as quantitative traits. We here develop a new method for joint analyses of quantitative traits within- and between species, the...
متن کاملDevelopmental trait evolution in trilobites.
We performed a tree-based analysis of trilobite postembryonic development in a sample of 60 species for which quantitative data on segmentation and growth increments between putative successive instars are available, and that spans much of the temporal, phylogenetic, and habitat range of the group. Three developmental traits were investigated: the developmental mode of trunk segmentation, the a...
