Mesquite Maddison, W.P. Maddison, W.P. earth science/paleoclimate/software STUDY NOTES: Software to help biologists analyze comparative data about organisms. This is useful for evolutionary biology with its emphasis on phylogenetic analysis, but it also contains modules for population genetics, etc. Analyses included are: reconstruction of ancestral states, tests of process of character evolution, including correlation, analysis of speciation and extinction rates, simulation of character evolution, parametric bootstrapping, morphometrics, coalescence, and tree comparisons and simulations. DISCIPLINE KEYWORDS: Paleobiolology, evolutionary biology, paleontology.
