Comparative analyses of caring sex & duration

Zip folder contains files used to estimate ancestral caring sex (39spp), and ancestral care duration (48spp), and correlational analyses of discrete states (39 spp) & continuous care durations during embryonic development (15 spp). We also estimated care states in unobserved species: in these files each unknown spp was allowed to exhibit all two/three potential states. We ran similar analyses in R phytools using stochastic character mapping; for those we wrote a simple for loop to assign unknown taxa an equal prior for each of three states (contact J. Delia for script).
