Introduction With the advent of new ways of thinking about biodiversity (McGill et al. 2006) and novel sources of data (Jarić et al. 2020, Tosa et al. 2021, Tobias et al. 2022), we are experiencing a shift from measuring biodiversity based on species identities only (taxonomic diversity, TD), to taking into account either the evolutionary relationships among species (phylogenetic diversity, PD) or similarities in functional traits (functional diversity, FD) (Pavoine and Bonsall 2011).

1 INTRODUCTION Comparing biological patterns is one of the key ways to understand mechanisms in evolutionary biology. This leads to the development of phylogenetic comparative methods as key methodologically driven topic in ecology, evolution and palaeontology (Felsenstein, 1985; Pennell & Harmon, 2013). These methods rely on comparing patterns in a phylogenetic context to understand biological mechanisms or concepts (Harmon, 2019).

treats: Trees and Traits SimulationsA modular package for simulating phylogenetic trees and species traits jointly. Trees can be simulated using modular birth-death parameters (e.g. changing starting parameters or algorithm rules). Traits can be simulated in any way designed by the user. The growth of the tree and the traits can influence each other through modifiers objects providing rules for affecting each other.
