Modern Phylogenetic Comparative Methods and Their Application in Evolutionary Biology Concepts and Practice /
Phylogenetic comparative approaches are powerful analytical tools for making evolutionary inferences from interspecific data and phylogenies. The phylogenetic toolkit available to evolutionary biologists is currently growing at an incredible speed, but most methodological papers are published in the...
