Rafael,
a phylogenetic paired t-test should do the job. Please check this
reference:
Lindenfors P, Revell LJ, and Nunn CL. Sexual dimorphism in primate
aerobic capacity: a
phylogenetic test. J Evolution Biol 23: 1183-1194, 2010.
Liam, any comments on this?

Hello all,
Are there any birth-death tree functions which condition on the total
number of tips (extinct and extant) on a tree rather than the number
of surviving tips? All the ones I've been able to find condition on
time or on the number of extant tips. I put together the following
kludge using
Hi Alberto,
OK, I think the bigger and more general issue is how to correct for
correlations with body size. this is an issue in many circumstances, both
biologically and statistically, aside from any questions about how best to test
for or quantify phylogenetic signal. I think that if you
Hi Dave-

You can recode the birthdeath.tree function from Geiger to do this if you want.
The total number of species in the tree

Hi Nick,
With method = pic, the CIs are computed using the expected variances
under the model, so they depend only on the tree. I've added a paragraph
in the man page to explain this.
Cheers,
