Dear all,
I am conducting an analysis predicting insect body sizes using a co-varying
trait and their biogeographic region within two model formulations using
MCMCglmm.
The first model has the structure: log(Weight) ~ log(Trait)+ Biogeography +
Family (i.e. Taxonomic family of species)
The s
That sounds pretty different from doing ancestral reconstruction with some
fossil data, and hoping the resulting node estimates will reflect reality,
because fossil data is now involved. Look, I think every method has its
uses; I'm just railing against the idea that the concerns of any particular
