Phylogenetic signal

The phylogenetic tree above shows significant phylogenetic signal in the mimicry structure of the community. This display confirms closely related species share color patterns more often than expected at random.

Phylogenetic signal is an evolutionary and ecological term, that describes the tendency or the pattern of related biological species to resemble each other more than any other species that is randomly picked from the same phylogenetic tree.[1][2]
