MOTMOT: Models of trait macroevolution on trees (an update)

The disparity in species’ traits arises through variation in the tempo and mode of evolution over time and between lineages. Understanding these patterns is a core goal in evolutionary biology. Here we present the comprehensively updated r package MOTMOT : Models Of Trait Macroevolution On Trees that contains methods to fit and test models of continuous trait evolution on phylogenies of extant and extinct species. MOTMOT provides functions to...
