 <h3 class="style4">Citation</h3>
 <p class="style4">If you make use of Mesquite for the analysis of results, such as to estimate ancestral states, then you should cite the functions in Mesquite. Thus, we suggest a citation like this: &quot;The &lt;insert analysis name here&gt; analysis was performed by Mesquite 2.72 (Maddison &amp; Maddison, 2009), run via the RMesquite package (Lapp &amp; Maddison, 2009) from R version 2.10.0.&quot; </p>
