Hello,

Some colleagues and I are running some phylogenetic ANOVAS using the geiger 
package. In some of the analyses we get the same phylogentic p-value (very 
small p-value) even though the F-statistic differs between the two analyses, 
albeit it being relatively high in both instances. We were wondering why this 
arises, to get better grip on how the analysis works. We thought it may have to 
do with the randomizations to calculate the phylogenetic p-value. Or that the 
F-statistics are quite high...
Below are two examples :

m11<-phy.anova(tree1,tmax,biozone,data.names=X,nsim=1000)
Standard ANOVA:
Analysis of Variance Table

Response: td$data
          Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value    Pr(>F)    
group      1 967.96  967.96  155.88 3.057e-12 ***
Residuals 25 155.24    6.21                      
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 


Phylogenetic p-value:   0.000999001


m12<-phy.anova(tree1,wt,biozone,data.names=X,nsim=1000)
Standard ANOVA:

Response: td$data
          Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value    Pr(>F)    
group      1 602.88  602.88  109.01 1.333e-10 ***
Residuals 25 138.26    5.53                      
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 


Phylogenetic p-value:   0.000999001


Cheers,

Alejandro
