Species Name Search DNA Sequence Search Align/Edit Sequences Phylogenetic Analysis Point Data Search Climate Modeling Combine Climate Data with Phylogenies Phylogenetic Biogeography
19
www.bdworld.org Using climate data in conjunction with phylogenies Use climate model as a character within a phylogenetic analysis How do we code this? How do we weight this? Use molecular clocks, palaeo- geography and palaeo-climate to investigate ancestral distributions Map climate variables onto a finished phylogeny Can we use these to choose between equally parsimonious trees?
