May 3, 2021 · PEx, in partnership with Wild Earth Allies, is now growing trees from seeds collected from ape dung—a process that is the mainstay of the advocacy, research, and conservation effort known as the Ape Trees™ project—and using the seedlings cultivated by the Ape Trees project to restore degraded gorilla habitat in Kahuzi-Biega National Park ...

Apes (collectively Hominoidea / hɒmɪˈnɔɪdi.ə /) are a clade of Old World simians native to sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia (though they were more widespread in Africa, most of Asia, and Europe in prehistory, and counting humans are found globally).

The Hominidae (/ h ɒ ˈ m ɪ n ɪ d iː /), whose members are known as the great apes [note 1] or hominids (/ ˈ h ɒ m ɪ n ɪ d z /), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and ...

Gigantopithecus (/ dʒaɪˌɡæntoʊpɪˈθikəs, ˈpɪθɪkəs, dʒɪ -/ jy-gan-toh-pih-THEE-kəs, -⁠PITH-ih-kəs, jih-[2]) [a] is an extinct genus of ape that lived in southern China from 2 million to approximately 300,000-200,000 years ago during the Early to Middle Pleistocene, represented by one species, Gigantopithecus blacki. [3] .

ape has several functions to perform computations before drawing a tree, so that they may be used to implement the same graphical functionalities with other graphical engines such as the grid package.

May 16, 2024 · Leading an innovative reforestation initiative called the Ape Trees™ project, Dr. Augustin Basabose is protecting critically endangered Grauer’s gorillas through community-led tree planting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This function reads a file which contains one or several trees in parenthetic format known as the Newick or New Hampshire format.

Functions for reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data in a phylogenetic framework, ancestral character analyses, analyses of diversification and macroevolution, computing distances from DNA sequences, reading and writing nucleotide sequences as well as importing from BioConductor, and ...

Jan 22, 2004 · APE provides both utility functions for reading and writing data and manipulating phylogenetic trees, as well as several advanced methods for phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis (e.g. comparative and population genetic methods).

These functions generate trees by splitting randomly the edges (rtree and rtopology) or randomly clustering the tips (rcoal). rtree and rtopology generate general trees, and rcoal generates coalescent trees. The algorithms are described in Paradis (2012) and in …
