Calculation of Evolvability Parameters

Provides tools for calculating evolvability parameters from estimated G-matrices as defined in Hansen and Houle (2008) and fits phylogenetic comparative models that link the rate of evolution of a trait to the state of another evolving trait (see Hansen et al. 2021 Systematic Biology ). The package was released with Bolstad et al. (2014) , which contains some examples of use.

evolvability

evovability is an R-package for calculating evolvability parameters from G-matrices (see Hansen and Houle 2008 https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2008.01573.x and Bolstad et al. 2014 https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2013.0255) and for fitting phylogenetic comparative models that link the rate of evolution of a trait to the state of another evolving trait (see Hansen et al. 2021 Systematic Biology https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syab079).

The package includes two vignettes. One on analyzing rates of evolution and one on fitting phylogenetic mixed models.

The latest version of the package can be downloaded by devtools::install_github(repo = "GHBolstad/evolvability", build_vignettes = TRUE)
