Dear r-sig-phylo community, I am analysing phylogenetic signal in univariate quantitative traits in insects. I use Blomberg's K (command phylosignal, library picante). Here I have two questions:
- how can I test whether K differs from the Brownian Motion Model? - is it safe to assume phylogenetic overdispersion if the phylogenetic signal differs both from random and from the BM model? Thanks a lot for your help!
