Colleagues, I wish to alert you to a new method I published with Dean Adams in this month's Evolution. The approach enables one to compare rates of phenotypic evolution between two or more multivariate traits in a phylogenetic context under Brownian motion. The method is described in our paper “A new phylogenetic test for comparing multiple high-dimensional evolutionary rates suggests interplay of evolutionary rates and modularity in lanternfishes (Myctophiformes; Myctophidae). Evolution. 69(9):2425-2440.” The paper may be found on Dean Adams' web page (publications page), or from me by email.
The approach will be implemented in the upcoming version of geomorph (2.1.7), which is set for release in the next few weeks. For those who cannot wait that long, they may download and install this version from the develop branch of geomorph on GitHub (instructions at: http://www.geomorph.net/p/installing-geomorph.html). Sincerely, John _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list - [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
