The phylomatic.com supported comparitive analysis of multiple species at same time. Results from statistical analysis with or without phylogeny consideration could be quite different, for instance, correaltions between two plant traits. how to quantify the contribution of phylogeny when environmental, biological factors together explained the responsive variable ? so far, there are many paper invloved this aspect, what is the most reliable way to deal with it?
