| Title: | Biogeographical Phylogenetics for BioPython |
| Abstract: | Create a BioPython module that will enable users to automatically access and parse species locality records from online biodiversity databases; link these to user-specified phylogenies; calculate basic alpha- and beta-phylodiversity summary statistics, produce input files for input into the various inference algorithms available for inferring historical biogeography; convert output from these programs into files suitable for mappinge.g. in Google Earth (KML files). |
