Revell and Luke J. Harmon provides an authoritative introduction to the latest comparative methods in evolutionary biology. Phylogenetic comparative methods are a suite of statistical approaches that enable biologists to analyse and better understand the evolutionary tree of life. These methods shed vital light on patterns of divergence and common ancestry among all species on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis textbook demonstrates how to conduct phylogenetic comparative analyses using the R statistical computing environment. The authors, Revell and Harmon, offer an incisive conceptual overview of each method, along with worked examples using real data and challenge problems that encourage students to learn by doing. By working through this book, students will gain a solid foundation in these methods and develop the skills needed to interpret patterns in the tree of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey features of the book include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers every major method of modern phylogenetic comparative analysis in R.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplains the basics of R and discusses topics such as trait evolution, diversification, trait-dependent diversification, biogeography, and visualisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures a wealth of exercises and challenge problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eServes as an invaluable resource for students and researchers, with applications in ecology, evolution, anthropology, disease transmission, conservation biology, and a host of other areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWritten by two of today's leading developers of phylogenetic comparative methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854745686252,"sku":"9780691219035","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8ce893b20e70e6b08d683fbe427ad882.jpg?v=1759265508","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/phylogenetic-comparative-methods-in-r-by-liam-j-revell-9780691219035","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
