motmot: Models of Trait Macroevolution on Trees

Functions for fitting models of trait evolution on phylogenies for continuous traits. The majority of functions are described in Thomas and Freckleton (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2011.00132.x> and allow tests of variation in the rates of trait evolution.

Authors:Mark Puttick [aut, cph], Gavin Thomas [aut, cph], Rob Freckleton [aut, cph], Magnus Clarke [ctb], Travis Ingram [ctb], David Orme [ctb], Emmanuel Paradis [ctb], Martin R. Smith [ctb, cre]
