2022 Scientific Computing Course Final Project

Author: Thales Moreira de Lima (thalesdrago@gmail.com) Instructors: Sara Mortara and Andrea Sanchéz-Tapia

This project is the final assignment of the Scientific Computing course that took place during 2022 as part of the Serrapilheira/ICTP-SAIFR Quantitative Biology Program.

The idea of this project is to use biogeographic models to combine biogeographic data and a phylogeny and infer the ancestral range of the palms (Arecaceae) of the subfamily Arecaceae.

• In the biblio directory you will find the bibliographical library in .bib format.
• In the data directory you will find the raw data of the project in the raw directory, the processed one in the processed directory. And the GIS directory contains spatial data.
• In the docs directory you will find text files like .pdf and .Rmd files.
• In the figs directory you will find image files like .png files.
• In the fun directory you will find R scripts that define functions called by other scripts.
• In the R directory you will find the main R script files that are used to conduct the analyzes.
• The README file is this very one that you are reading now, and its purpose is to explain very briefly what is this project about and which is which structure
