SUMMARY: The phylogenetic signal, frequently used to identify signatures of adaptive evolution or important associations between genes and phenotypes, measures the tendency for recently diverged species to resemble each other more than distantly related species. An example of such a measure is the δ statistic, which uses Shannon entropy to measure the degree of phylogenetic signal between a categorical trait and...
