Abstract
After more than fifteen years of existence, the R package ape has continuously grown
its contents, and has been used by a growing community of users. The release of version
5.0 has marked a leap towards a modern software for evolutionary analyses. Efforts
have been put to improve efficiency, flexibility, support for 'big data' (R's long
vectors), ease of use and quality check before a new release. These changes will hopefully
make ape a useful software for the study of biodiversity and evolution in a context
of increasing data quantity.
