Analyses of Phylogenetics and Evolution
Description
Ape provides functions for reading, writing, 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 population parameter theta based on
various approaches.
