Description: MacroCAIC is a CAIC derivative for testing correlates of species richness using comparative tests.
Purvis Lab @ IC Software Output Why are some lineages more prolific than others? What characteristics are associated with taxa that proliferate or those that are headed for extinction? These are questions that can be studied with comparative analysis, an examination of a group of organisms' evolutionary history and their essential characters to obtain correlations between these characters. MacroCAIC performs a specialised subset of this analysis, looking at correlates of species richness. From user supplied phylogenies and datasets (describing traits values for members of the phylogeny) MacroCAIC can calculate correlates of species richness, i.e. which traits are associated with abnormal speciation. The phylogeny is used to make these correlations independent, to divorce them from the confounding effects of descent. Traits may be continuous or discrete, and not every trait value need be known for every clade in the phylogeny. Phylogenies may be species level or higher (e.g. genus), dated or undated (i.e. with or without branch-lengths).
