Rebuilding the taxonomic tree after a major mass extinction: A case study on taxonomic distinctness of marine Triassic bivalves

Taxonomic distinctness of Triassic bivalves: How does a taxonomic tree rebuild after a global biodiversity crash? This repository contains the modular and extensible R scripts and data used to calculate taxonomic distinctness (TD) metrics in Triassic bivalves. Our scripts are designed for the easy analysis of ecological community data and their application to paleontological datasets. Please refer directly to the README.md file provided here for a more detailed description.
