Phylogenetic Comparative Methods for Trait Evolution

Phylogenetic Trees and Terminology → Practical Implementation in R

This advanced graduate-level learning path equips evolutionary biology students with the skills to analyze trait evolution across species using phylogenetic comparative methods. It covers the essential foundations of phylogenetics, then progresses through independent contrasts, phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS), Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) models, trait correlations, and ancestral state reconstruction. The path emphasizes conceptual understanding and practical application, preparing learners for research and career applications.
