This is a snapshot of the R-Phylo (Comparative Methods in R) wiki taken in June 2015. The live version of the wiki is at http://r-phylo.org. Phylogenetic comparative methods All organisms are linked together by the tree of life. We can use this tree along with trait data, to understand many aspects of biology: does specialization lead to increased speciation? do body size and brain size coevolve? how have genome sizes changed over time? and more. R has many functions to address such questions. This website has tutorials on how to do these analyses in R and an overview of what is available in R. Tutorials table of contents Overview of analyses and packages available in R Wish list - let the community know what you would like to see available in R Useful links Mailing list for asking questions about using and developing comparative methods in R. The mailing list is archived here. These pages grew out of a Hackathon on Comparative Methods in R held at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) 10-14 December 2007.
