Estimating the Effect of Competition on Trait Evolution Using Maximum Likelihood Inference

Abstract: Many classical ecological and evolutionary theoretical frameworks posit that competition between species is an important selective force. For example, in adaptive radiations, resource competition between evolving lineages plays a role in driving phenotypic diversification and exploration of novel ecological space. Nevertheless, current models of trait evolution fit to phylogenies and comparative data sets are not designed to incorporate the effect of competition. The most advanced models in this direction are … Show more

“…It would also be very useful to develop models of trait evolution that depend on external variables changing through time, as was developed for paleoenvironment‐dependent diversification (Condamine et al ., ; Lagomarsino et al ., ). Another exciting recent development is the emergence of models taking into account interactions among co‐evolving lineages (Drury et al ., ; Manceau et al ., ). Last, we determinedly support conceptual and methodological frameworks that explicitly encompass major singular evolutionary events, by identifying them with phylogenetic descriptive methods, and accounting for them in hypothesis‐testing approaches (Uyeda et al ., ).…”

“…Bayesian implementations and functions that allow fitting new models of phenotypic evolution, such as the matching competition model (Drury et al . ), are already under development. Contributions are welcome; automatic tests have been implemented to facilitate a collaborative development and to insure the replicability of results.…”
