Improving the Robustness of Phylogenetic Independent Contrasts: Addressing Abrupt Evolutionary Shifts with Outlier-and Distribution-Guided Correlation
2024-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Traditional phylogenetically aware correlation methods perform well under gradual evolutionary processes. However, abrupt evolutionary shifts—or macroevolutionary jumps, characteristic of punctuated evolution—can produce extreme phylogenetically independent contrasts (PIC), leading to inflated false positives or increased false negatives in trait correlation analyses. We introduce O(D)GC (Outlier-and Distribution-...
