▪ Abstract As better phylogenetic hypotheses become available for many groups of
organisms, studies in community ecology can be informed by knowledge of the evolutionary …

Temperament describes the idea that individual behavioural differences are repeatable over
time and across situations. This common phenomenon covers numerous traits, such as …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Wildlife trade is a multibillion dollar industry that is driving species toward extinction. Of>
31,500 terrestrial bird, mammal, amphibian, and squamate reptile species,~ 24%(N= 7638) …

DNA repair has been hypothesized to be a longevity determinant, but the evidence for it is
based largely on accelerated aging phenotypes of DNA repair mutants. Here, using a panel …

We developed a linear-time algorithm applicable to a large class of trait evolution models,
for efficient likelihood calculations and parameter inference on very large trees. Our …

The primary rationale for the use of phylogenetically based statistical methods is that
phylogenetic signal, the tendency for related species to resemble each other, is ubiquitous …

GEIGER is a new software package, written in the R language, to describe evolutionary
radiations. GEIGER can carry out simulations, parameter estimation and statistical …

Recent years have seen increased interest in phylogenetic comparative analyses of
multivariate data sets, but to date the varied proposed approaches have not been …
