PDAP:PDTREE:
A translation of the PDTREE application of Garland et al.'s Phenotypic Diversity Analysis Programs
|
Peter E. Midford, Theodore Garland Jr., and Wayne P. Maddison
First released September 2002
Current release November 2011
Important Note
Recent versions of PDAP:PDTREE (1.05-1.16) will calculate statistics for characters that
have missing values. When there are no missing values, all statistics have been tested and are, to the best of our knowledge, correct. When there are missing values, the statistics for screens 1-8 and the bivariate statistics listed at the bottom of the text pane of 'screens' 9-11 have been tested and are believed to be correct. Likewise, the first 5 columns of FIC files have been tested and are believed to be correct.
Unfortunately, certain values, such as later FIC file columns and the contrast values that appear in the scatterplots of screens 9-11 are not known to be correct. We are continuing to work on correcting these issues and hope to have a complete solution in the near future.
If these values are of concern to you, you can always prune your tree down to the number of tips for which you have complete data for two given traits, and save the file. Analyses with contrasts should then be correct for
those two traits.

How to Download
To download and install this package, do the following:
- If you have not already done so, install the most recent
version of Mesquite. This may require installing java if your
computer does not already have java loaded. To install mesquite,
follow the instructions here.
- If you have not previously used Mesquite, we recommend spending
some time exploring it before loading PDAP:PDTREE. This is because
the PDAP:PDTREE package runs inside of Mesquite.
- You can install PDAP with the new Mesquite install system. Start Mequite and activate the
item on the File menu titled "Available to Install or Update."
- If PDAP:PDTREE appears on the dropdown that appears, just select PDAP:PDTREE from the
dropdown.
- Otherwise select the "Check Now for Notices/Installs..." In the dialog that appears,
enter the following URL: http://mesquiteproject.org/pdap_mesquite/install.xml.
The installer will put the program files for PDAP in the appropriate place in the Mesquite
installation and then prompt you for where to put the PDAP examples folder. Place this anywhere
that is convenient.
- If you have difficulties with the installer, please connect me at the email address listed
at the bottom of the page. Meanwhile, you can download the PDAP:PDTREE
package (see list below) and install manually.
- Uncompress the file (called pdap_bin) to create a folder
(aka directory) called PDAP. This folder, in turn, will
contain two folders, one titled "Put in mesquite directory",
the other titled "Pdap examples". Within your Mesquite
installation there is a folder titled
"Mesquite_Folder." Within the "Mesquite_Folder" is a folder
called "mesquite". This later folder is where you should move
(e.g., drag) the folder called "pdap" which is in the "put in
mesquite directory" folder. Do not put the whole "Put in mesquite
directory" folder into "mesquite".
- You can put the "Pdap examples" folder into the examples folder in
the "Mesquite_Folder" if you wish, but the examples don't need
to be moved anywhere in particular.
Within the examples folder are two folders, one containing the
guided tour, the other containing several example files and
PDI files.
To try the tour, open the file called Part1.nex in Mesquite.
- To import a PDI file, just open the file from the File menu
in Mesquite. Mesquite will display a list of formats it can
translate. PDI should appear near the bottom of the list.
