An example of such a measure is the δ statistic, which uses Shannon entropy to measure the degree of phylogenetic signal between a categorical trait and a phylogeny. In this study, we refined this statistic to account for tree uncertainty, resulting in more accurate assessments of phylogenetic associations. In addition, we provided a more accessible and computationally efficient implementation of the δ statistic that will facilitate its use by the evolutionary community. eng 2024-08-27T08:00:08.533Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Ribeiro;Diogo; FN:Diogo Ribeiro X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7773-4286 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Antunes;Agostinho; FN:Agostinho Antunes X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1328-1732 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Borges;Rui; FN:Rui Borges X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5905-3778 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Rocha;Ana Paula; FN:Ana Paula Rocha X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3218-7001 END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf 1685179 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/o:3434 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/api/object/o:3434/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline
