Hi Marguerite, Ted, Paolo, all
Thanks for the replies,
Marguerite, models' fit was evaluated via AIC weights. I was interested in
the phylogenetic signal exactly for descriptive purposes, and was wondering
if it does make sense using BM as a reference when other models perform
better. This is why
Dear Pas,
I am wondering what the general aim of your study is?
I agree with Ted, that you should be careful about your assumptions and the
tools you are using. Ted's point that K is a descriptive statistic is an
important one. K describes the expected divergence among tip traits assuming a

Hi pas,
Besides the other arguments, I think that one should test for phylogenetic
signal AFTER trasforming the tree according to the best mode of evolution IF it
is not brownian. Maybe someone else can add some more on this.
