Hello everybody,

I had a doubt considering how to correctly interpret the RV coefficient
given in MorphoJ when doing PLS and Modularity hypothesis analysis.
Should the RV coefficient given in PLS analysis be interpreted the same
as the RV coefficient in the Modularity hypothesis? So, should low RV
coefficients given in PLS analysis with significant p-values be
considered as support that blocks constitute seperate modules? Also, can
someone give any more info on how these two analysis differ when
studying morphological integration and modularity, apart from the fact
that in PLS modules are chosen a priori. Thank you.


All the best,
Javier Santos
