Data from: Fast mvSLOUCH: Multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-based models of trait evolution on large phylogenies

The PCMBase R package is a powerful computational tool that enables
efficient calculations of likelihoods for a wide range of phylogenetic
Gaussian models. Taking advantage of it, we redesigned the R
package mvSLOUCH. Here, we demonstrate how the new version of the
package can be used to thoroughly examine the evolution and adaptation of
traits in a large dataset of 1252 vascular plants through the use of
multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The results of our
analysis demonstrate the ability of the modeling framework to distinguish
between various alternative hypotheses regarding the evolution of
functional traits in angiosperms.
