Table 1.

Possible alternative models of spatial versus phylogenetic effects. These could be used to replace equation (2.2) in the text.

equation description
vij=(1ϕ)pij+ϕdij variance is a linear function of spatial and phylogenetic distances; ϕ measures the relative contribution of each.
vij=(1ϕ)pij+ϕexp(αdij) variance is a linear function of phylogenetic distance and an exponential function of spatial distance. ϕ measures the relative contribution of each; α models the change in autocorrelation in space.
vij=(1ϕ)pij+ϕdijα variance is a linear function of phylogenetic distance and a power function of spatial distance. ϕ measures the relative contribution of each; α models the change in autocorrelation in space.
vij=α[(1ϕ)pij+ϕdij]+(1α)vm variance is a linear function of spatial and phylogenetic distances, plus a term measuring the contribution of other effects (vm); ϕ measures the relative contribution of spatial and phylogenetic effects; a measures the relative contribution of the spatial+phylogenetic versus other effects.
