maxdist

maxdist uses ancestral state reconstruction to determine the maximum distance between any ancestors of those two taxa.

Quantifies and assesses the significance of convergent evolution using multiple methods and measures as described in Stayton (2015) <DOI: 10.1111/evo.12729> and Grossnickle et al. 2023. Also displays results in various ways.
