+Pkg-Description: help biologists analyze comparative data about organisms
+ Mesquite is software for evolutionary biology, designed to help
+ biologists analyze comparative data about organisms. Its emphasis is
+ on phylogenetic analysis, but some of its modules concern population
+ genetics, while others do non-phylogenetic multivariate
+ analysis. Because it is modular, the analyses available depend on the
+ modules installed. Analyses include:
+  * Reconstruction of ancestral states (parsimony, likelihood)
+  * Tests of process of character evolution, including correlation
+  * Analysis of speciation and extinction rates
+  * Simulation of character evolution (categorical, DNA, continuous)
+  * Parametric bootstrapping (integration with programs such as PAUP*
+    and NONA)
+  * Morphometrics (PCA, CVA, geometric morphometrics)
+  * Coalescence (simulations, other calculations)
+  * Tree comparisons and simulations (tree similarity, Markov
+    speciation models)
+ There is a brief outline of features, which includes
+ screenshots. Mesquite is not primarily designed to infer phylogenetic
+ trees, but rather for diverse analyses using already inferred trees.
