Speciation, extinction and historical dispersal are the ultimate factors generating and maintaining biodiversity. However, methods of macroevolution used to detect historical processes usually ignore the variation of macroevolutionary processes at scales finer than entire regions. Likewise, biogeography and community ecology often ignore deep‐time evolutionary processes. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to integrate data from ancestral state reconstructions, current species distributions and biogeographical regionalization. Herodotools is an R package designed to perform this integration.

Global application, with an example from Neotropics.

Any taxa, with an example from small rodents (genus Akodon and subfamily Sigmodontinae).

Herodotools streamline analyses of historical biogeography, including regionalization, calculation of assemblage age …
