Assessing Trait Covariation and Morphological Integration on Phylogenies Using Evolutionary Covariance Matrices
Morphological integration describes the degree to which sets of organismal traits covary with one another. Morphological covariation may be evaluated at various levels of biological organization, but when characterizing such patterns across species at the macroevolutionary level, phylogeny must be t...
