MATICCE: mapping transitions in continuous character evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY MATICCE is a new software package in the R language for mapping phylogenetic transitions in organismal traits that have continuous distributions. MATICCE integrates over phylogenetic and model uncertainty and provides simulation functions for visualizing evolutionary scenarios based on estimated parameter values. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION MATICCE is written in the open source R language and freely available through the Comprehensive R Archive Network (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/maticce).

Utilizing maticce to estimate transitions in continuous character evolution
This document provides an overview of the maticce package, which serves three primary purposes. First, it implements an information-theoretic approach to estimating where on a phylogeny there has been a transition in a continuous character. As currently implemented, the approach assumes that (1) such transitions are appropriately modeled as shifts in optimum / equilibrium of a character evolvin...
متن کاملUsing Phylogenetic Approaches for the Analysis of Plant Breeding System Evolution
■ Abstract Until recently, studies of plant reproductive systems have been at the population level, using microevolutionary approaches. The development of cladistic approaches, combined with the emergence of molecular systematics, has resulted in an explosion of phylogenetic studies and an increase in interdisciplinary approaches combining ecological and systematic methodology. These new approa...

متن کاملEvolutionary breakdown of pollination specialization in a Caribbean plant radiation.
• Ecological generalization is postulated to be the rule in plant-pollinator interactions; however, the evolution of generalized flowers from specialized ancestors has rarely been demonstrated. This study examines the evolution of pollination and breeding systems in the tribe Gesnerieae (Gesneriaceae), an Antillean plant radiation that includes specialized and generalized species. • Phylogeneti...
متن کاملSociety of Systematic Biologists Stochastic Mapping of Morphological Characters Author(s):
Many questions in evolutionary biology are best addressed by comparing traits in different species. Often such studies involve mapping characters on phylogenetic trees. Mapping characters on trees allows the nature, number, and timing of the transformations to be identified. The parsimony method is the only method available for mapping morphological characters on phylogenies. Although the parsi...
