Comparative Chewing Efficiency in Mammalian Herbivores (2009, background): “PGLS provides an approach to studying correlated evolution (Martins and Hansen 1997, Garland and Ives 2000), and becomes increasingly attractive for comparative biologists due to its flexibility.”
The seven deadly sins of comparative analysis (2009, methodology): “In a GLS analysis, Garland & Ives (2000) present a simple and elegant calculation for generating normalized residuals from a GLS model.”
Evolutionary convergence of body shape and trophic morphology in cichlids from Lake Tanganyika (2001, methodology): “1 4 ( 2 0 0 1 ) 3 2 5 ± 3 3 2 ã 2 0 0 1 B L A C K W E L L S C I E N C E L T D When the phylogenetic relationships among specimens were taken into consideration using PGLS, there was a signi®cant association between overall body shape and trophic morphology (Wilks' L 0.368, P 0.0001).”

Sources and significance of variation in basal, summit and maximal metabolic rates in birds (2010, methodology): “Similar to recent comparative studies of BMR (Reynolds and Lee, 1996; Garland and Ives, 2000; Rezende et al., 2002), Msum in passerines and non-passerines does not differ significantly, either for conventional or phylogenetically informed analyses (Rezende et al.”
Interspecific Relationships among Growth, Mortality and Xylem Traits of Woody Species from New Zealand (2010, background): “…dependence of biological processes, eE(T-T0)/(kTT0), where E is the activation energy of metabolic processes (~ 0.65 eV), k is the Boltzmann constant (8.62 x 10-5 eV/K), T is observed temperature in K (Gillooly et al. 2001), and T0 is the mean temperature across all plots in the NVS data (282 K).”
Model averaging, missing data and multiple imputation: a case study for behavioural ecology (2010, background): “For instance, this can be done in comparative analysis by using phylogenetic similarity to predict values for species with missing data (Garland and Ives 2000).”
Predicting tropical insect herbivore abundance from host plant traits and phylogeny (2012, methodology): “The method incorporates tree topology and branch lengths to minimize variance of the regression slope and intercept using the generalized least-squares equation (a Gauss-Markov estimator; Grafen 1989, Martins and Hansen 1997, Garland and Ives 2000).”
Mate fidelity in monogamous birds: a re-examination of the Procellariiformes (2003, methodology): “Analyses were conducted with the PDTREE software (Garland et al. 1999; Garland & Ives 2000 ) to control for the nonindependence of data points.”
