[Mesquitelist] How does one view multiple "traced" trees without redoing ancestral state reconstructions each time?

[Marc Johnson]

Dear Mesquite users:

 

I am performing ancestral state reconstructions of a binary character on a
sample of Bayesian trees (1000) using maximum parsimony and BiSSE.

 

For the MP analyses I am interested in looking at each tree to see how many
times MP identifies the state change having occurred  in one direction (0 to
1) versus the reverse direction (1 to 0). When I try and scroll between
trees Mesquite retraces the ancestral state across each of the 1000 trees.  

 

Is there a way to view or print the MP ancestral state reconstruction of
each tree without redoing the analysis across all trees every time? 

 

I have had similar issues with BiSSE, but those analyses it is possible to
work around the problem by outputting the ML estimates to a text file.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Marc
