MODELING STABILIZING SELECTION: EXPANDING THE ORNSTEIN—UHLENBECK MODEL OF ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION

Comparative methods used to study patterns of evolutionary change in a continuous trait on a phylogeny range from Brownian motion processes to models where the trait is assumed to evolve according to an Ornstein—Uhlenbeck (OU) process. Although these models have proved useful in a variety of context...
