Hi, I am not sure I understand the problem correctly. But I assume that your friend gets a matrix of correlation between the abundances. So essentially he has correlation coefficients for all the pairwise comparisons between the species (or taxa). To test for a phylogenetic signature you

Matt, Matt Helmus and I have worked out how to do things like this with binary (presence-absence) data, which is harder (statistically and numerically) than continuous data. Ives, A. R. and M. R. Helmus. 2011. Generalized linear mixed models for phylogenetic analyses of community structure.
