Phylogram instead of chronogram when assessing the neutral evolution of a trait

2025-06-19

Abstract excerpt

Comparative analyses of trait evolution aim to uncover the different evolutionary forces shaping phenotypic diversity among species. This is typically done by fitting various evolutionary models to observed trait changes along a species tree. For instance, under neutral evolution, trait values are modelled as changing randomly along the branches of the tree. In contrast, for a trait under selection, species are ty...
