Sampling error vs. systematic errorFelsenstein 1978 Syst Zool
Thinking about errors
• Let’s say we want to answer a question:• In a finite
population, what is the frequency of an allele?
Sampling vs. systematic
How to answer this question
• We go out, get samples, genotype different individuals
• Then we count the alleles
• What is the main source of error?
Sampling vs. systematic
This is sampling error
• We want to get a better estimate of the allele frequency• => Sample more
• We could sample the entire population• => Best possible
estimate of allele frequency

Sampling vs. systematic
Now let’s ask a different question
• We want to find out how these 3000 microbial lineages relate to one another
• We get their genomes, map out each of the single-copy genes, estimate a phylogeny
Lang, Darling, Eisen 2013 PLoS One
Sampling vs. systematic
But our results don’t make sense
• Is it sampling error?• Can we sample
more than the whole genome?
• We discover the model of gene evolution we are using was wrong• What kind of error is
this?
Lang, Darling, Eisen 2013 PLoS One
Sampling vs. systematic
This is systematic error
• Even sampling whole genomes won’t fix the problem• Having more data
can make the problem worse!
• As long as we don’t change the model, we will keep obtaining the wrong answer

• Why use dated trees?• Trait evolution• History of
assemblages in time and space
• Key innovations

• How do phenotypes evolve?• Characteristics of

The trouble with morphological characters
• At first, only model was parsimony
• Neutral Jukes-Cantor 1969 model implemented 2001• Current model varies
rates across characters
• Applying this model does not solve conflict
Dávalos, Cirranello et al. 2012 Biol Rev
Phenotypic evolution
Could conflict arise from systematic error?
Phenotypic evolution
Might systematic error affect morphological characters?
Reviewer 1:
I don't see the point. If the characters are good characters (meaning that they have some phylogenetic signal at some level), then there is nothing especially wrong with the fact that they are weighted a little more than other characters.

Systematic error in phenotypes
• Morphology = phenotype• Neutrality and
independence wrong assumptions• Not neutral• Not independent
Skelly et al. 2013 Genome Res
Phenotypic evolution
The trouble with systematic error
• In sampling error mode• More is more• More characters• = thousands of
correlated phenotypes• This will fail, we have
systematic error• Improve model• Improve data• Understand data

The contours of a theory of macroevolution
Modern synthesis is about populations
• Features of populations become important• Population size• Migration
• Generations• Time
• Mutation rate
Dávalos & Russell 2014 J Mammal
Contours of macroevolution
From micro to macro: successful example
• Coalescent stochasticity• Genes may represent
different histories by chance
• No selective force, only population characteristics
• Solution• Account for pop size
(Ne), # generations (t), mutation rate (mu) Neigel & Avise 1986 Evolutionary
Processes and TheoryContours of macroevolution
Another example
• Phenotypic traits• Often expected to
be under selection• Solution• Extend quantitative
genetics• Compare Brownian
motion to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
• Model t, s, and optima Martins & Hansen 1997 Am Nat
Butler & King 2004 Am NatContours of macroevolution
Dávalos, Velazco et al. 2014 Syst Biol unpublishedContours of macroevolution
There is a limit to modeling these, though
The chasm genetics-phenotype
• Biochemistry defines units and processes of genetics
• Genetics defines units and processes of genotype evolution in population
• What is there for (morphological) phenotypes?
Contours of macroevolutionLöytynoja & Goldman 2008 Science
Units and process
• How to define units of morphological evolution?
• Can using functional and developmental processes help?• Aren’t these also
unknown?• Are such processes
generalizable?• I.e., the way Ne, T and
