New phylogenetic bipartite linear models functionality added. picante Steven Kembel 2008-08-27T08:19:06+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=677 picante 0.3 includes some bugfixes, and adds several new functions including phylogenetic bipartite linear models and phylogenetic community-environment regressions! picante Steven Kembel 2008-07-21T10:13:57+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=642 This version incorporates new community phylogenetic structure metrics (PSR/PSV/PSC methods of Helmus et al.) and phylogenetic species richness accumulation curves. picante Steven Kembel 2008-06-20T13:47:36+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=627 The picante package aims to provide a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and trait diversity of ecological communities in R, along with a set of tools for other comparative analyses and manipulations of phenotypic and phylogenetic data. picante Steven Kembel 2008-06-03T15:41:10+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=603 Matt Helmus will be joining the project this summer with the support of NESCent and the Google Summer of Code. Welcome! picante Steven Kembel 2008-05-23T20:38:14+00:00 https://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=426 Just imported the picante code base from the phylodiversity web server. Code still in pre-alpha, many functions untested, not for production use at this point. picante Steven Kembel 2008-02-02T14:31:16+00:00
