Trait phylogenetic signals: results of tests for phylogenetic signal in two continuous traits of interest (home range and group size) and one control variable (body mass) using Pagel’s λ under maximum likelihood (ML-λ) and tests against models of no signal (0) or complete phylogenetic dependence (1)
Variable | ML-λ | Test | χ 2 | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Body mass | 0.9999 | λ = 0 | 45.38 | <0.0001 |
λ = 1 | −0.01 | 1.0 | ||
Home range | 0.9999 | λ = 0 | 30.32 | <0.0001 |
λ = 1 | −0.004 | 1.0 | ||
Group size | 0.9731 | λ = 0 | 20.61 | <0.0001 |
λ = 1 | 0.58 | 0.45 |
