A hierarchical Bayesian framework accommodates intraspecific and interspecific variation in multivariate traits

The paper introduces a hierarchical Bayesian framework to estimate taxon-specific intraspecific covariance structures and evolutionary processes for multivariate traits, showing improved uniformity in evolutionary rate estimates across the great ape clade.

Principal Components Analysis fails to recover phylogenetic structure in hominins

This paper shows that PCA fails to recover phylogenetic structure in hominin datasets, highlighting flaws in using PCA for phylogenetic inference.

Assessing phylogenetic information content and redundancy in hominin craniodental traits

The paper evaluates the phylogenetic information content of hominin craniodental traits and finds that only 31 traits contribute meaningfully to phylogenetic inference.
