Limits of principal components analysis for producing a common trait space: implications for inferring selection, contingency, and chance in evolution.

PloS one - 23 Nov 2009

Parsons Kevin J, Cooper W James, Albertson R Craig

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Comparing patterns of divergence among separate lineages or groups has posed an especially difficult challenge for biologists. Recently a new, conceptually simple methodology called the "ordered-axis plot" approach was introduced for the purpose of comparing patterns of diversity in a...
