Hi there,

I think you can use the "adephylo " tool in R. You can get more information from the following link.

http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/15/1907.full

I have also read in some paper that nested ANCOVA is also used to see phylogenetic signal but I am sure weather it applies to your data or not.

Cheers,

Kalpana

Hi!
I am studying the vertebral column of dolphins, focusing on the morphological variation of vertebrae. I have a set of variables that represent form change. I am looking for a test that allows me to calculate phylogenetic signal in a multivariate form, i.e. a phylogenetic signal for the whole set of variables. Some colleagues have recommended me Blomberg’s K (Blomberg et al. 2003) and orthonormal decomposition (Ollier et al. 2006), but as far as I know, they are univariate analysis. Can anyone recommend me such analysis? Thank you in advance!
