PDcalc: an implementation of the Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) calculus in R

I have started putting my various PD functions together in an R package (PDcalc). You can find a development version of the package here:

https://github.com/davidnipperess/PDcalc

I will keep all current versions of the functions available for download from this site for as long as I can but they will not be updated. All future development will be for the R package.

Thanks to everyone who has been using (and providing feedback on) my functions. I hope you find PDcalc as least as useful.

The mean and variance of phylogenetic diversity under rarefaction

Erick Matsen and I have just submitted a manuscript to Methods in Ecology and Evolution on the rarefaction of phylogenetic diversity. The manuscript is available to view on ArXiv.org.

Welcome to my new website

This website will replace my old .mac site which will be shut down at the end of the month. The goal of this new website is to generally promote my research and teaching activities and provide a place where you can download my software.
