Phylogenetic uncertainty revisited: Implications for ecological analyses.
Ecologists and biogeographers usually rely on a single phylogenetic tree to study evolutionary processes that affect macroecological patterns. This approach ignores the fact that each phylogenetic tree is a hypothesis about the evolutionary history of a clade, and cannot be directly observed in nature. Also, trees often leave out many extant species, or include missing species as polytomies bec...
متن کاملTrait Evolution on Phylogenetic Networks 3
14 Species may evolve on a reticulate network due to hybridization or other gene flow rather than 15 on a strictly bifurcating tree, but comparative methods to deal with trait evolution on a network 16 are lacking. We create such a method, which uses a Brownian motion model. Our method seeks 17 to separately or jointly detect a bias in trait value coming from hybridization (í µí»½) and a burst ...
متن کاملTrait evolution, community assembly, and the phylogenetic structure of ecological communities.
Taxa co-occurring in communities often represent a nonrandom sample, in phenotypic or phylogenetic terms, of the regional species pool. While heuristic arguments have identified processes that create community phylogenetic patterns, further progress hinges on a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions between underlying ecological and evolutionary processes. We created a simulation ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and Trait-Based Assembly of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities
Both competition and environmental filtering are expected to influence the community structure of microbes, but there are few tests of the relative importance of these processes because trait data on these organisms is often difficult to obtain. Using phylogenetic and functional trait information, we tested whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal community composition in an old field was inf...
متن کاملEcological understanding of root-infecting fungi using trait-based approaches.
Classification schemes have been popular to tame the diversity of root-infecting fungi. However, the usefulness of these schemes is limited to descriptive purposes. We propose that a shift to a multidimensional trait-based approach to disentangle the saprotrophic-symbiotic continuum will provide a better framework to understand fungal evolutionary ecology. Trait information reflecting the separ...
