Fig. 5: Variance associated with phylogenetically informed prediction increases along branch lengths.
From: Phylogenetically informed predictions outperform predictive equations in real and simulated data
The scatter plot depicts the relationship between branch length and the variance associated with the predictions from our second case study. Inset, part of the phylogenetic tree (n = 43) with branches of extinct taxa (and corresponding points) coloured by the variance associated with their phylogenetically informed prediction for body mass. Silhouettes are not to scale.
