# Martin R. Smith
I am a Professor in Durham University's Department of Earth Sciences. I use the fossil record to
illuminate the origins of life's complexity. To this end, I have developed and implemented a number of
methods to improve the inference of phylogenetic history ("evolutionary family trees"), mainly in R/C++.
See https://smithlabdurham.github.io/ for more about my group's research interests.
# Repo highlights
## R packages
- [Ternary](https://github.com/ms609/Ternary/): create ternary plots and Holdridge diagrams.
- Packages for calculating and evaluating distances between phylogenetic trees:
[TreeDist](https://github.com/ms609/TreeDist/),
[TBRDist](https://github.com/ms609/TBRDist/), [Quartet](https://github.com/ms609/Quartet/).
- [MapTrees](https://ms609.github.io/TreeDist/dev/articles/treespace.html): an interactive user
interface for the creation, visualization and evaluation of tree landscapes.
- [TreeTools](https://github.com/ms609/TreeTools/): utilities for the creation, modification and
analysis of phylogenetic trees.
- [TreeSearch](https://github.com/ms609/TreeSearch/): phylogenetic tree search in R, with an
appropriate treatment of ‘inapplicable’ characters.
- [Rogue](https://github.com/ms609/Rogue/): Identify rogue taxa to improve consensus trees.
## Student resources
- [Concentration](https://github.com/ms609/Concentration/): Strategies to improve concentration and maximize productivity.
- [Ancient Life and its Environment](https://smithlabdurham.github.io/GEOL2301): Teaching resources for a
palaeontological half-module.
- [preferences](https://github.com/ms609/preferences): Default configurations for scientific research software.
- [dictionary](https://github.com/smithlabdurham/dictionary): Personal wordlist of scientific terms to supplement spell-checkers.
- [module-map](https://module-map.github.io/): JavaScript interface to navigate Earth Science degree pathways.
## Reproducible research
- [phylo-workflow](https://github.com/smithlabdurham/phylo-workflow): Workflow for semi-automatic phylogenetic analysis of morphological data.
- [hyoliths](https://github.com/ms609/hyoliths): Supplementary dataset for Sun _et al._ (2018): a useful template for
morphological phylogenetic analysis.
