Phylogenetic Analysis and Comparative Data: A Test and Review of Evidence
The question is often raised whether it is statistically necessary to control for phylogenetic associations in comparative studies. To investigate this question, we explore the use of a measure of… Expand

Why do we still use stepwise modelling in ecology and behaviour?
TLDR
We show that stepwise regression allows models containing significant predictors to be obtained from each year's data. Expand

Oligotyping: differentiating between closely related microbial taxa using 16S rRNA gene data
Bacteria comprise the most diverse domain of life on Earth, where they occupy nearly every possible ecological niche and play key roles in biological and chemical processes. Studying the composition… Expand

Dealing with collinearity in behavioural and ecological data: model averaging and the problems of measurement error
There has been a great deal of recent discussion of the practice of regression analysis (or more generally, linear modelling) in behaviour and ecology. In this paper, I wish to highlight two factors… Expand
