Phylogeny shape and the phylogenetic comparative method.
We explored the impact of phylogeny shape on the results of interspecific statistical analyses incorporating phylogenetic information. In most phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs), the phylogeny can be represented as a relationship matrix, and the hierarchical nature of interspecific phylogenies translates into a distinctive blocklike matrix that can be described by its eigenvectors (topolog...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Methods and Vertebrate Phylogeny
There are many phenomena in the world that we can observe and would like to understand. In particular, most of us want to know why things happen. To approach any question scientifically, we use a formalized approach, using the initial observations to formulate testable hypotheses. Testable hypotheses are explanations of how things happen, that can be tested by collecting more data either throug...
متن کاملComparative evolutionary diversity and phylogenetic structure across multiple forest dynamics plots: a mega-phylogeny approach
Forest dynamics plots, which now span longitudes, latitudes, and habitat types across the globe, offer unparalleled insights into the ecological and evolutionary processes that determine how species are assembled into communities. Understanding phylogenetic relationships among species in a community has become an important component of assessing assembly processes. However, the application of e...
متن کاملSpace versus phylogeny: disentangling phylogenetic and spatial signals in comparative data.
Variation in traits across species or populations is the outcome of both environmental and historical factors. Trait variation is therefore a function of both the phylogenetic and spatial context of species. Here we introduce a method that, within a single framework, estimates the relative roles of spatial and phylogenetic variations in comparative data. The approach requires traits measured ac...

تمایل به ارزیابی جایگزین و تعویض آن با آزمون سنتی مداد و کاغذ در سالهای اخیر افزایش یافته است. اکثر زبان آموزان در کلاس های زبان از نمره نهایی که استاد تعیین میکند ناراضی اند. این تحقیق جهت بررسی ارزیابی در کلاس های زبان انگلیسی به هدف رضایتمندی زبان آموزان از نمره هایشان انجام گرفته است که در آن نمرات ارائه شده توسط سه گروه ارزیاب (ارزیابی خود دانشجو، همسالان واستاد) در مهارت های تولید (تکل...
