 \title{The adephylo package}
 
 \description{This package is devoted to exploratory analysis of
-  phylogenetic comparative data.
+  phylogenetic comparative data. It re-implements and extends
+  phylogenetic procedures from the \code{ade4} package (which are now
+  deprecated).\cr
+
+  Comparative data (phylogeny+traits) are handled as
+  \linkS4class{phylo4d} objects, a canonical class implemented by the
+  \code{phylobase} package. Trees are handled as \code{\link[pkg:ape]{phylo}}
+  objects (from the \code{ape} package) or as \linkS4class{phylo4}
+  objects (\code{phylobase}'s extension of \code{phylo} objects).\cr
+
+  Main functionalities of \code{adephylo} are summarized below.\cr
+
  
+   === TOPOLOGICAL INFORMATION ===\cr
+   Several functions allow one to retrieve topological information from
+   a tree; such information can be used, for instance, as a basis to
+   compute distances or proximities between tips.\cr
+   
+   - \code{\link{listDD}}: lists the direct descendants from each node
+   of a tree.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{listTips}}:  lists the tips descending from each node
+   of a tree.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{.tipToRoot}}: finds the set of nodes between a tip and the root of
+   a tree.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{sp.tips}}: finds the shortest path between tips of a
+   tree.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{treePart}}: defines partitions of tips reflecting the
+  topology of a tree. This function can output non-independent dummy
+  vectors, or alternatively an orthonormal basis used by the orthogram procedure.\cr
+
   
+
+   === PHYLOGENETIC PROXIMITIES/DISTANCES ===\cr
+   Several phylogenetic proximities and distances are
+   implemented. Auxiliary function easing the computation of other
+   distances/proximities are also provided:\cr
+   
+   - \code{\link{distRoot}}: computes different distances of a set of tips to the
+  root.\cr
  
+   - \code{\link{distTips}}: computes different pairwise distances in a set of tips.\cr
 
+   - \code{\link{proxTips}}: computes different proximities between a
+   set of tips.\cr
+
+
+   === MEASURES/TESTS OF PHYLOGENETIC AUTOCORRELATION  ===\cr
+   Several procedures allow one to measure, and/or test phylogenetic
+   signal in biological traits:\cr
    
-   === MANIPULATING DATA ===\cr
-   Several functions allow one to manipulate \linkS4class{genind} or
-   \linkS4class{genpop} objects\cr
-   - \code{\link{}}: convert a \linkS4class{genind} object
-   to a  \linkS4class{genpop} \cr
-  
+   - \code{\link{abouheif.moran}}: performs Abouheif's test, designed to detect phylogenetic
+   autocorrelation in a quantitative trait. This implementation is not
+   based on original heuristic procedure, but on the exact formulation
+   proposed by Pavoine et al. (2008), showing that the test is in fact a
+   Moran's index test. This implementation further extends the procedure
+   by allowing any measure of phylogenetic proximity (5 are proposed).\cr
 
-   === ANALYZING DATA ===\cr
-   :\cr
-   - \code{\link{}}: performs HWE test for all
- 
+   - \code{\link{orthogram}}: performs the orthonormal decomposition of
+   variance of a quantitative variable on an orthonormal basis as in
+   Ollier et al. (2005). It also returns the results of five non
+   parametric tests associated to the variance decomposition.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{moran.idx}}: computes Moran's index of autocorrelation given a
+   variable and a matrix of proximities among observations (no test).\cr
    
+
+   === MODELLING/INVESTIGATION OF PHYLOGENETIC SIGNAL ===\cr
+   Rather than testing or measuring phylogenetic autocorrelation, these
+   procedures can be used for further investigation of phylogenetic
+   signal. Some, like \code{\link{me.phylo}}, can be used to remove
+   phylogenetic autocorrelation. Others can be used to understand the
+   nature of this autocorrelation (i.e., to ascertain which traits and
+   tips are concerned by phylogenetic non-independence).\cr
+   
+   - \code{\link{me.phylo}}/\code{\link{orthobasis.phylo}}: these
+   synonymous functions compute Moran's eigenvectors (ME) associated to
+   a tree. These vectors model different observable phylogenetic
+   signals. They can be used as covariables to remove phylogenetic
+   autocorrelation from data.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{orthogram}}: the orthogram mentionned above also
+   provides a description of how biological variability is structured
+   on a phylogeny.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{ppca}}: performs a phylogenetic principal
+   component analysis (pPCA, Jombart et al. in prep). This multivariate
+   method investigates phylogenetic patterns in a set of quantitative
+   traits.\cr
+
+   
+   === GRAPHICS ===\cr
+   Some plotting functions are proposed, most of them being devoted to
+   representing phylogeny and a quantitative information at the same
+   time.\cr
+   
+   - \code{\link{table.phylo4d}}: fairly customisable way of
+   representing traits onto the tips of a phylogeny. Several traits can
+   be plotted in a single graphic.\cr
+
+   - \code{\link{scatter.ppca}}, \code{\link{screeplot.ppca}},
+   \code{\link{plot.ppca}}: several plots associated to a phylogenetic
+   principal component analysis (see \code{\link{ppca}}).\cr
+   
+   
+   === DATASETS ===\cr
+   Several datasets are also proposed. Some of these datasets 
+   replace former version from \code{ade4}, which are now deprecated.
+   Here is a list of available datasets: \code{\link{carni19}},
+   \code{\link{carni70}}, \code{\link{lizards}}, \code{\link{maples}},
+   \code{\link{mjrochet}}, \code{\link{palm}}, \code{\link{procella}},
+   \code{\link{tithonia}}, and \code{\link{ungulates}}.\cr
