what kind of signal to calculate, one of Pagel's lambda (default), delta, and kappa, or Blomberg's K. |
Phylogenetic ‘signal’ is one of those concepts that is
said a lot in community ecology, but some do not full consider its
meaning. Think carefully before rushing to report a value whether:
(1) it makes sense to assess phylogenetic ‘signal’ in your
datasets, and (2) what the phrase ‘phylogenetic signal’ actually
means. This code makes use of caper::pgls
to get
estimates of fit; alternatives that offer more flexibility exist
(see below).
Named numeric vector, where each element is a trait or community.
