Abstract

Abstract Statistical phylogenetic methods are the foundation for a wide range of evolutionary and epidemiological studies. However, as these methods grow increasingly complex, users often encounter significant challenges with summarizing, visualizing and communicating their key results. We present RevGadgets , an R package for creating publication‐quality figures from the results of a large variety of phylogenetic analyses performed in RevBayes (and other phylogenetic software packages). We demonstrate how to use RevGadgets through a set of vignettes that cover the most common use cases that researchers will encounter. RevGadgets is an open‐source, extensible package that will continue to evolve in parallel with RevBayes , helping researchers to make sense of and communicate the results of a diverse array of analyses.
