Description: A wide range of methods for phylogenetic analysis -
        concentrated in phylogenetic comparative biology, but also
        including numerous techniques for visualizing, analyzing,
        manipulating, reading or writing, and even inferring
        phylogenetic trees. Included among the functions in
        phylogenetic comparative biology are various for ancestral
        state reconstruction, model-fitting, and simulation of
        phylogenies and trait data. A broad range of plotting methods
        for phylogenies and comparative data include (but are not
        restricted to) methods for mapping trait evolution on trees,
        for projecting trees into phenotype space or a onto a
        geographic map, and for visualizing correlated speciation
        between trees. Lastly, numerous functions are designed for
        reading, writing, analyzing, inferring, simulating, and
        manipulating phylogenetic trees and comparative data. For
        instance, there are functions for computing consensus
        phylogenies from a set, for simulating phylogenetic trees and
        data under a range of models, for randomly or non-randomly
        attaching species or clades to a tree, as well as for a wide
        range of other manipulations and analyses that phylogenetic
        biologists might find useful in their research.
