Ape provides functions for reading, and plotting phylogenetic
trees in parenthetic format (standard Newick format), analyses of
comparative data in a phylogenetic framework, analyses of diversification
and macroevolution, computing distances from allelic and nucleotide data,
reading nucleotide sequences from GenBank via internet, and several tools
such as Mantel's test, computation of minimum spanning tree, or the
