An Evolving View of Character Macroevolution.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypes serve as the interface between organisms and their environments and are thus pivotal for comprehensive biological understanding. However, comparative analyses of species' phenotypes must account for the non-independence of characters imposed by the branching pattern of macroevolution. Methods to account for this phylogenetic non-independence have historically been conceived of as their own subfield:...
