Phylogenetic Ridge Regression Methods for Comparative Studies

Functions for phylogenetic analysis (Castiglione et al., 2018 ). The functions perform the estimation of phenotypic evolutionary rates, identification of phenotypic evolutionary rate shifts, quantification of direction and size of evolutionary change in multivariate traits, the computation of ontogenetic shape vectors and test for morphological convergence.

RRphylo

The RRphylo package collects tools to compute branch-wise evolutionary rates, estimate ancestral states, locate rate shifts, assess temporal trends in phenotypes and rates, evaluate morphological convergence, along with some useful functions to easily visualize analyses results, assess statistical robustness, and build/manipulate phylogenetic trees.
