TL;DR
A phylogenetic approach was developed, overlaying the thermal data on a phylogeny of the six genera and applying a "minimum evolution" algorithm to estimate ancestral values at nodes, which concluded that thermoregulatory behavior and physiology were at least partially coadapted.

The American NaturalistPhylogenies and the Comparative Method
10,101 Citations1985Joseph Felsenstein
A method of correcting for the phylogeny has been proposed, which specifies a set of contrasts among species, contrasts that are statistically independent and can be used in regression or correlation studies.

One conclusion is that the dates of splits between taxa, even supplemented by rates of neutral gene evolution, do not provide the ‘ true ’ covariance structure, and a pragmatic approach is adopted.
Systematic BiologyOutgroup Analysis and Parsimony
990 Citations1984Wayne P. Maddison, Michael J. Donoghue +1 more
Methods that use outgroups in the reconstruction of phylogeny are described and evaluated by the criterion of parsimony, and algorithms and rules are presented that find the most parsimonious estimates of ancestral states for binary and multistate characters when outgroup relationships are well resolved.

824 Citations1988Joseph Felsenstein
Systematists and evolutionary geneticists don't often talk to each other, and they routinely dispaiage each other's work as being of little relevance to evolution, but changes in the methods of collecting and analyzing data are invalidating some of these views.
Systematic ZoologyAdaptation: Statistics and a Null Model for Estimating Phylogenetic Effects
651 Citations1990John L. Gittleman, Mark Kot
Statistics and a null model for estimating phylogenetic effects in comparative data are proposed and a model-independent measure of autocorrelation (Moran's I) is applied for estimating whether cross-taxonomic trait variation is related to phylogeny.

643 Citations1985James M. Cheverud, Malcolm M. Dow +1 more
The separation of phylogenetic from specific effects proposed here also allows phylogenetic factors to be explicitly included in cross‐species comparative analyses of adaptation, which solves a long‐standing problem in evolutionary comparative studies.
EvolutionPHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES OF THE CORRELATED EVOLUTION OF CONTINUOUS CHARACTERS: A SIMULATION STUDY
623 Citations1991Emı́lia P. Martins, Theodore Garland
Computer simulation is used to compare the statistical properties of several methods that have been proposed for estimating the evolutionary correlation between two continuous traits, and to define alternative evolutionary correlations that may be of interest.
EvolutionPHYLOGENETIC STUDIES OF COADAPTATION: PREFERRED TEMPERATURES VERSUS OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE TEMPERATURES OF LIZARDS
559 Citations1987Raymond B. Huey, Albert F. Bennett
A comparative study of evolutionary patterns in thermal preferences and the thermal dependence of sprinting in some Australian skinks suggests that low thermal preferences can evolve, even if this results in reduced performance.
EvolutionA METHOD FOR TESTING THE CORRELATED EVOLUTION OF TWO BINARY CHARACTERS: ARE GAINS OR LOSSES CONCENTRATED ON CERTAIN BRANCHES OF A PHYLOGENETIC TREE?
538 Citations1990Wayne P. Maddison
Simulations suggest that biases resulting from errors in parsimony reconstructions of ancestral states are not extreme, and are in fact not extreme.
EvolutionMETHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF COMPARATIVE DATA IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY
421 Citations1991Michael Lynch
Methods are presented for the estimation of phylogenywide means of characters, the variance‐covariance structure of the components of taxon‐specific means, and the mean phenotypes of ancestral taxa and it is argued that the covarianceructure of phylogenetic effects provides a description of a macroevolutionary pattern.

400 Citations1981George Lauder
To the extent that transformational and relational hypotheses about form are corroborated, they provide evidence of underlying regularity in the transformation of organic design that may be a consequence of the hierarchical organization of structural and functional patterns in organisms.
Systematic BiologySquared-Change Parsimony Reconstructions of Ancestral States for Continuous-Valued Characters on a Phylogenetic Tree
394 Citations1991Wayne P. Maddison
It is shown that when the squared changes are inversely weighted by the lengths of the branches, the squared-change parsimony reconstruction is that which has maximum posterior probability under a Brownian motion model of evolution.

A cladistic test of the hypothesis that the evolution of dioecy is favored in animal‐dispersed plants indicates that dioECy may have originated somewhat more often in such lineages, which must largely account for the observed species‐level correlation between dispersal and breeding system.

Methods of classification and methods of inferring phylogeny are of course separate issues and only the latter are discussed here.

223 Citations1987Stanley K. Sessions, Allan Larson
An analysis of the evolutionary relationship between genome size (C‐value, mass of DNA per haploid nucleus) and developmental rate using observations of limb regeneration in salamanders of the family Plethodontidae indicates that rate of differentiation is inversely proportional to genome size.
The American NaturalistA Comparative Method
129 Citations1989Graham Bell
It is argued that covariance between taxa is attributable to ancestry and covariance within taxa to function, and that adaptive hypotheses should be tested by the within-taxon correlation.

The phylogenetic relationships of the Australian scincid lizards currently assigned to the genus Leiolopisma have been examined by quantitative micro-complement fixation (MC'F) comparisons of serum albumin, and it is suggested that the Australian species belong to several distinct phyletic lineages within the Eugongylus group.
