Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) have played a central role in studying the evolution of phenotypic traits. However, when a trait experienced directional selection, previous PCMs have faced a dilemma between mathematically tractable but restrictive models (i.e., simple Gaussian process models) and flexible but intractable approaches (i.e., a simulation-based process model of phenotype evolution built on...
