A tiny fraction of the exercises require a non-CRAN phytools version (i.e., a very recent version of phytools with some updates that is not yet on CRAN). If you can install packages from source, or are working with the latest R release in Windows, you can install one of the following two versions: |
| Package version | Link |
| phytools package source (for phytools installation from source) | phytools_0.4-11.tar.gz |
| phytools Windows binary (for phytools installation in Windows with R>=3.0) | phytools_0.4-11.zip |
