Testing for phylogenetic signal in species traits Using Blomberg's K to analyze phylogenetic signal in traits of all species in the study, we found significant ( p < .05) nonrandom signal in spectral indices corresponding to leaf mass per area (LMA) and marginally significant ( p < .06) nonrandom signal in leaf chlorophyll a using a white noise null model, suggesting some level of phylogenetic conservatism.
