Hi, Belinda. One thing to watch is over-intepretation: BM is consistent with drift, OU is consistent with selection, but various kinds of selection can also lead to BM. [1]. A lot of the people involved in these methods (including me) are guilty of sloppiness in language in this area, leading to

[R-sig-phylo] estimating the evolutionary rate of a continous trait

2016-04-15 Thread Belinda Kahnt
Dear all, I am a newbie to this mailing list and phylogenetic analyses in R and hope you can comment on a question I have. I would like to estimate the rate of evolution of a continous trait and check if the trait evolves faster along some branches of the topology. I already checked with Pagels
