Harmon 03 Harmon et al Science lineage diversity index = sum(obs – exp) positive value = early accumulation of lineages
Measuring niche conservatism - phylogenetic signal K: Blomberg et al. (2003) Evolution; examples: Ackerly, PNAS in review Blomberg’s K: measures degree of similarity among close relatives, relative to expectations based on Brownian motion K<<1K~1K>>1 convergencebrownianconserved
Harmon et al Science mean subclade disparity/total disparity high values = high within group relative to among group variance = low phylo signal Morphological disparity index = sum(obs-exp): positive values= deep clades span similar trait range, i.e. convergence across clades and low signal

How do -niche traits diverge during allopatric speciation? E1-> 1 E2-> 2 11 22 div. coexistence 1) alternative states favored in 2 environments, coincidentally promote coexistence in modern communities.
How do -niche traits diverge during allopatric speciation? 22 E1-> 1 E2-> 2 11 22 continued div. coexistence 2) differences evolved in secondary contact of sister taxa, prior to diversification of two clades; modern coexistence reflects ancestral character displacement; early habitat divergence undetectable due to rapid rates of evolution. 11 secondary contact
