Abstract

Phylogenetic comparative methods are important tools in biology, providing insights into the way traits evolve. There are many technical resources describing how these methods work. Our aim here is to complement these with an overview of the types of biological questions that can be addressed by different methods and to outline potential pitfalls and considerations when embarking on comparative studies. First, we introduce what comparative methods are and why they are important. Second, we outline how they can be used to understand when, where, and how frequently traits evolve. Third, we examine how the coevolution of traits within and between species can be studied, along with patterns of causality. Finally, we discuss how to approach comparative analyses and the ways in which different types of data, such as published relationships, omic, and remote sensing data, can be integrated.

研究性状进化的系统发育比较方法导览
系统发育比较方法是生物学中的重要工具,可帮助人们深入了解性状的进化方式。有许多技术资料介绍了这些方法的工作原理。我们在这里的目的是对这些资料进行补充,概述不同方法可以解决的生物学问题类型,并概述开始比较研究时可能存在的陷阱和注意事项。首先,我们将介绍什么是比较方法以及它们的重要性。其次,我们将概述如何利用这些方法来了解性状进化的时间、地点和频率。第三,我们将探讨如何研究物种内部和物种之间性状的共同进化以及因果关系模式。最后,我们将讨论如何进行比较分析,以及如何整合不同类型的数据,如已发表的关系、Omic 和遥感数据。

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is a scholarly publication that has been in circulation since 1970. It focuses on important advancements in the areas of ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics, with relevance to all forms of life on Earth. The journal features essay reviews that encompass various topics such as phylogeny, speciation, molecular evolution, behavior, evolutionary physiology, population dynamics, ecosystem processes, and applications in invasion biology, conservation, and environmental management. Recently, the current volume of the journal transitioned from a subscription-based model to open access through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now available under a CC BY license.
