Searching for patterns in rate of molecular evolution using phylogenetic pairwise contrasts
Understanding the patterns behind molecular evolutionary rate variation among species offers insight into the forces that shape evolution, with practical benefits for informing phylogenetic models and molecular dating. However, identifying the covariates of this variation can be challenging. Analyses must account for phylogenetic relationships, covariation between species traits, and special…
