Performance of a phylogenetic independent contrast method and an improved pairwise comparison under different scenarios of trait evolution after speciation and duplication

Abstract Despite the importance of gene function to evolutionary biology, the applicability of comparative methods to gene function is poorly known. A specific case which has crystallized methodological questions is the ‘orthologue conjecture’, the hypothesis that function evolves faster after dupli...
