Comparative analyses for adaptive radiations.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Nov 2000

Harvey P H, Rambaut A

Abstract excerpt

Biologists generally agree that most morphological variation between closely related species is adaptive. The most common method of comparative analysis to test for co-evolved character variation is based on a Brownian-motion model of character evolution. If we are to test for the evolution of character-covariation, and we believe that characters have evolved adaptively to fill niches during an adaptive...
