Abstract

Gaussian processes are powerful tools for modeling trait evolution along phylogenetic trees. As the value of a trait may change randomly throughout the evolution, two Gaussian bridge processes, the Brownian bridge (BB) and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck bridge (OUB), are proposed for mapping continuous trait evolution for a group of related species along a phylogenetic tree, respectively. The corresponding traitgrams to the two bridge processes are created to display the evolutionary trajectories. The novel models are applied to study the body mass evolution of a group of marsupial species.
