title: MATICCE: mapping transitions in continuous character evolution.
abstract: CONCLUSIONS
  MATICCE is a new software package in the R language for mapping phylogenetic transitions in organismal traits that have continuous distributions. MATICCE integrates over phylogenetic and model uncertainty and provides simulation functions for visualizing evolutionary scenarios based on estimated parameter values.
  
  
  METHODS
  MATICCE is written in the open source R language and freely available through the Comprehensive R Archive Network (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/maticce).
