Phylogenetic signal in floral temperature patterns [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2021 Objectives Floral structures may be warmer than their environment, and can show thermal patterning, where individual floral structures show different temperatures across their surface.

Phylogenetic signal of sub‐arctic beetle communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Postglacial dispersal and colonization processes have shaped community patterns in sub‐Arctic regions such as Churchill, Manitoba, and Canada. This study investigates evolutionary community structure within the beetle (Coleoptera) families of Churchill ...

Revisiting phylogenetic signal; strong or negligible impacts of polytomies and branch length information? [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2017 Inaccurate estimates of phylogenetic signal may mislead interpretations of many ecological and evolutionary processes, and hence understanding where potential sources of uncertainty may lay has become a priority for comparative studies.

Phylogenetic signal in tooth wear dietary niche proxies. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 In the absence of independent observational data, ecologists and paleoecologists use proxies for the Eltonian niches of species (i.e., the resource or dietary axes of the niche).

Phylogenetic signal and rate of evolutionary change in language structures. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2022 Within linguistics, there is an ongoing debate about whether some language structures remain stable over time, which structures these are and whether they can be used to uncover the relationships between languages.

Phylogenetic Signal, Congruence, and Uncertainty across Bacteria and Archaea. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2021 Reconstruction of the Tree of Life is a central goal in biology. Although numerous novel phyla of bacteria and archaea have recently been discovered, inconsistent phylogenetic relationships are routinely reported, and many inter-phylum and inter-domain ...

Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics [PDF]
Diachronica, 2020 Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree inference. Here, we show how a phylogenetic approach opens the possibility of gaining historical insights from entirely new kinds of linguistic data – in this instance, statistical ...

Phylogenetic signal dissection identifies the root of starfishes. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Relationships within the class Asteroidea have remained controversial for almost 100 years and, despite many attempts to resolve this problem using molecular data, no consensus has yet emerged.

Annual precipitation predicts the phylogenetic signal in bat-fruit interaction networks across the Neotropics. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2021 Closely related species tend to be more similar than randomly selected species from the same phylogenetic tree. This pattern, known as a phylogenetic signal, has been extensively studied for intrinsic (e.g.

Phylogenetic signal in the vocalizations of vocal learning and vocal non-learning birds. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021 Some animal vocalizations develop reliably in the absence of relevant experience, but an intriguing subset of animal vocalizations is learned: they require acoustic models during ontogeny in order to develop, and the learner's vocal output reflects those
