This is the first GitHub release of bifrost, corresponding to the current CRAN version (0.1.3).

Overview

bifrost is an R package for detecting and visualizing cladogenic shifts in multivariate trait evolution on phylogenies. It is designed for high-dimensional morphological datasets and large trees, using penalized-likelihood multivariate GLS models and a greedy, step-wise shift-search framework.

Highlights
• Improved plotting and visualization tools for inspecting evolutionary rate shifts and information-criterion trajectories.
• Updated jaw-shape vignette with additional figures and clearer examples based on a Paleozoic fish dataset.
• Documentation and test-suite improvements to improve robustness and clarity following the initial CRAN release.

Availability
• CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/package=bifrost
• Documentation & vignettes: https://jakeberv.com/bifrost/

This release reflects the current stable state of the package following the initial CRAN launch.
