PhyloNetworks: analysis for phylogenetic networks 

Overview
PhyloNetworks is a Julia package with utilities to:
- read / write phylogenetic trees and networks,
in (extended) Newick format.
Networks are considered explicit: nodes represent ancestral species.
They can be rooted or unrooted.
- manipulate networks: re-root, prune taxa, remove hybrid edges,
extract the major tree from a network, extract displayed networks / trees
- compare networks / trees with dissimilarity measures
(Robinson-Foulds distance on trees)
- summarize samples of bootstrap networks (or trees)
with edge and node support
- estimate species networks from multilocus data (see below)
- phylogenetic comparative methods for continuous trait evolution
on species networks / trees
- plot networks (and trees), via the companion package
PhyloPlots

Maximum pseudolikelihood estimation of species network: SNaQ 
SNaQ implements the statistical inference method in Solís-Lemus and Ané
(2016).
The procedure involves a
numerical optimization of branch lengths and inheritance probabilities
and a heuristic search in the space of phylogenetic
networks.

Phylogenetic comparative methods for trait evolution
For continuous traits, study based on the Brownian motion process,
with or without transgressive evolution after reticulations:
