Abstract Synopsis

  • TNT version 15 now fully integrates landmark (shape) data into phylogenetic analysis, allowing researchers to analyze shape changes alongside traditional characters and reconstruct ancestor shapes with minimized differences.
  • The software offers faster algorithms that significantly speed up landmark-based phylogenetic searches—up to hundreds of times faster—making it practical to perform detailed shape analyses even on standard personal computers.
  • All previous analysis features are preserved and can be combined with landmark data, supporting flexible and comprehensive evolutionary studies using parsimony-based methods and automatically rescaling continuous characters.]
