How to add a phylogenetic correction to data from a phylogenetic tree?

18 September 2022 1 9K Report

I have a published phylogenetic tree but no access to the rough data used to generate the tree. I want to compare among clades in terms of morphological characters. How do I include the phylogenetic correction? Should I just measure the distance between clades and use this as my phylogenetic correction? The phytools package in R assumes I have the rough tree data, and I don´t. Some suggestions will be most welcomed.

The publication supplementary materials might have the tree file. Or, you could contact the authors and request the .tre or nexus file.
