The paper introduces a discretized stochastic diffusion approach to model discrete and continuous trait evolution in phylogenetics, exploring multiple new models and their applications.

This paper introduces a semiparametric method to test for evolutionary correlation between variables in a phylogenetic context, showing it has good statistical properties and comparable power to parametric methods.

The paper introduces a discrete character evolution model with Gamma-distributed rate heterogeneity among branches and applies it to estimate rate parameters and improve ancestral state reconstruction in squamate reptiles.

The paper updates the phytools R package, describing new features and workflows for phylogenetic comparative analysis.
