Phylogenetic comparative methods are now widely used in very diverse
fields of evolutionary biology to make robust inferences
from interspecific data and phylogenies. Currently, we witness a rapid
flourishing of the phylogenetic toolbox allowing researchers to tackle
diverse questions concerning the evolution of species and their traits.
The conference aims at providing a bouquet of overviews on the most
recent developments by the most prominent experts of the comparative
methodology, and also at attracting a wide range of contributions
from different fields of evolutionary biology to demonstrate how the
phylogenetic comparative approach can be used to address an ample array
of biological questions in different taxa.
