1) The document describes a new R package called Claddis that performs cladistic ordination and accounts for phylogenetic signal when measuring morphological disparity.
2) Claddis takes cladistic data and phylogenetic trees as inputs and outputs ordinations of taxa in morphospace with and without consideration of ancestral state estimation.
3) The document demonstrates how accounting for phylogenetic relationships and estimating ancestral character states using Claddis affects ordination of morphological data and conclusions about disparity through several examples.
