Data from: Integration of anatomy ontologies and evo-devo using structured Markov models suggests a new framework for modeling discrete phenotypic traits

Modeling discrete phenotypic traits for either ancestral character state reconstruction or morphology-based phylogenetic inference suffers from ambiguities of character coding, homology assessment, dependencies, and selection of adequate models. These drawbacks occur because trait evolution is driven by two key processes – hierarchical and hidden – which are not accommodated simultaneously by the available phylogenetic methods. The hierarchical process refers to the dependencies between anatomical body parts, while the hidden process refers to the evolution of gene regulatory networks underlying trait development. Herein, I demonstrate that these processes can be efficiently modeled using structured Markov models equipped with hidden states, which resolves the majority of the problems associated with discrete traits. Integration of structured Markov models with anatomy ontologies can adequately incorporate the hierarchical dependencies, while the use of the hidden states accommodates hidden evolution of gene regulatory networks and substitution rate heterogeneity. I assess the new models using simulations and theoretical synthesis. The new approach solves the long-standing "tail color problem," in which the trait is scored for species with tails of different colors or no tails. It also presents a previously unknown issue called the "two-scientist paradox," in which the nature of coding the trait and the hidden processes driving the trait's evolution are confounded; failing to account for the hidden process may result in a bias, which can be avoided by using hidden state models. All this provides a clear guideline for coding traits into characters. This paper gives practical examples of using the new framework for phylogenetic inference and comparative analysis.

Data from: Markov switching autoregressive models for interpreting vertical movement data with application to an endangered marine apex predator

1.Time series of animal movement obtained from bio-loggers are becoming widely used across all taxa. These data are nowadays of high quality, combining high resolution with precision, as the tags are able to collect for longer times and store larger quantities of data. Due to their nature, high-frequency data sequences often pose non-trivial problems in time series analysis: non-linearity, non-Normality, non-stationarity, and long memory. These issues can be tackled by modelling the data sequence as a realization of a stochastic regime switching process. 2. We suggest a novel Markov switching autoregressive model where the hidden Markov chain is non-homogeneous, with time-varying transition probabilities, whose dynamics depend on the dynamics of some contemporary categorical covariates. 3. To illustrate the use of the method, we apply it to the depth profiles of four individuals of flapper skate (Dipturus cf. intermedia) in order to identify swimming behaviours. Individual time series were obtained from data storage tags that recorded pressure every two minutes. The environmental covariates used were lunar phase (a proxy for the spring-neap tidal cycle), lunar cycle, and diel cycle. For all individuals two states (or regimes) were always selected (the autoregressive order was either three or four), representing different regimes of animal activity, i.e., state 1 for resting or horizontal swimming or slow vertical movement; state 2 for fast ascending and descending. The cycle of the four lunar phases was the only environmental covariate that explained the hidden state dynamics in all individuals, whereas lunar cycle was selected for two individuals and diel cycle for one only. 4. The method is an efficient approach to fit one-dimensional tag data using categorical environmental covariates, and to classify the observations into a small number of states representing individual behaviours of tagged individuals.

Data from: Analysis of animal accelerometer data using hidden Markov models

Use of accelerometers is now widespread within animal biologging as they provide a means of measuring an animal's activity in a meaningful and quantitative way where direct observation is not possible. In sequential acceleration data, there is a natural dependence between observations of behaviour, a fact that has been largely ignored in most analyses. Analyses of acceleration data where serial dependence has been explicitly modelled have largely relied on hidden Markov models (HMMs). Depending on the aim of an analysis, an HMM can be used for state prediction or to make inferences about drivers of behaviour. For state prediction, a supervised learning approach can be applied. That is, an HMM is trained to classify unlabelled acceleration data into a finite set of pre-specified categories. An unsupervised learning approach can be used to infer new aspects of animal behaviour when biologically meaningful response variables are used, with the caveat that the states may not map to specific behaviours. We provide the details necessary to implement and assess an HMM in both the supervised and unsupervised learning context and discuss the data requirements of each case. We outline two applications to marine and aerial systems (shark and eagle) taking the unsupervised learning approach, which is more readily applicable to animal activity measured in the field. HMMs were used to infer the effects of temporal, atmospheric and tidal inputs on animal behaviour. Animal accelerometer data allow ecologists to identify important correlates and drivers of animal activity (and hence behaviour). The HMM framework is well suited to deal with the main features commonly observed in accelerometer data and can easily be extended to suit a wide range of types of animal activity data. The ability to combine direct observations of animal activity with statistical models, which account for the features of accelerometer data, offers a new way to quantify animal behaviour and energetic expenditure and to deepen our insights into individual behaviour as a constituent of populations and ecosystems.

Accompanying simulated data for "Go multivariate: recommendations on multilevel hidden Markov models with categorical data of varying complexity"

<p>The multilevel hidden Markov model (MHMM) is a promising vehicle to investigate latent dynamics over time in social and behavioral processes. By including continuous individual random effects, the model accommodates variability between individuals, providing individual-specific trajectories and facilitating the study of individual differences. However, the performance of the MHMM has not been sufficiently explored. Currently, there are no practical guidelines on the sample size needed to obtain reliable estimates related to categorical data characteristics We performed an extensive simulation to assess the effect of the number of dependent variables (1-4), the number of individuals (5-90), and the number of observations per individual (100-1600) on the estimation performance of group-level parameters and between-individual variability on a Bayesian MHMM with categorical data of various levels of complexity. We found that using multivariate data generally alleviates the sample size needed and improves the stability of the results. Regarding the estimation of group-level parameters, the number of individuals and observations largely compensate for each other. Meanwhile, only the former drives the estimation of between-individual variability. We conclude with guidelines on the sample size necessary based on the complexity of the data and the study objectives of the practitioners.</p> <p>This repository contains data generated&nbsp;for the manuscript: &quot;Go multivariate: recommendations on multilevel hidden Markov models with categorical data of varying complexity&quot;.

Generalized hidden Markov models for phylogenetic comparative datasets

<ol> <li class="JamesManuscriptBody">Hidden Markov models (HMM) have emerged as an important tool for understanding the evolution of characters that take on discrete states. Their flexibility and biological sensibility make them appealing for many phylogenetic comparative applications.</li> <li class="JamesManuscriptBody">Previously available packages placed unnecessary limits on the number of observed and hidden states that can be considered when estimating transition rates and inferring ancestral states on a phylogeny.</li> <li class="JamesManuscriptBody">To address these issues, we expanded the capabilities of the R package corHMM to handle <i>n</i>-state and <i>n</i>-character problems and provide users with a streamlined set of functions to create custom HMMs for any biological question of arbitrary complexity.</li> <li class="JamesManuscriptBody">We show that increasing the number of observed states increases the accuracy of ancestral state reconstruction. We also explore the conditions for when an HMM is most effective, finding that an HMM is an appropriate model when the degree of rate heterogeneity is moderate to high.</li> <li class="JamesManuscriptBody">Finally, we demonstrate the importance of these generalizations by reconstructing the phyllotaxy of the ancestral angiosperm flower. Partially contradicting previous results, we find the most likely state to be a whorled perianth, whorled androecium, whorled gynoecium. The difference between our analysis and previous studies was that our modeling explicitly allowed for the correlated evolution of several flower characters.</li> </ol>
