Description

Principal component analysis applied across multiple species using demographic traits to identify major axes of life-history variation and test for slow-fast continuum patterns. Uses phylogenetically-informed approach to account for evolutionary relationships.

Typical Equipment

  • R software
  • phytools R package
  • broken-stick model

Output Measurements

  • principal component loadings
  • variance explained
  • species scores on PC axes
