phyloMeta is an easy to use console program for integrating phylogenetic information into meta-analysis. It is designed to help ecologists, evolutionary biologists and conservation biologists analyze effect size data extracted from published studies in a comparative phylogenetic context. This software estimates phylogenetic versions of all the traditional meta-analytical statistics used for: pooling effect sizes with weighted regressions; evaluating the homogeneity of these effect sizes; performing moderator tests akin to ANOVA style analyses; and analyzing data with fixed- and random-effects models. phyloMeta is developed in C/C++ and can be used via command line in MS Windows environments.
phyloMeta can be obtained freely as an executable on the web at http://lajeunesse.myweb.usf.edu/publications
phyloMeta 是一个易于使用的命令行程序，可将系统发育信息集成到荟萃分析中。它旨在帮助生态学家、进化生物学家和保护生物学家在比较系统发育背景下分析从已发表研究中提取的效应大小数据。该软件估计了所有传统荟萃分析统计量的系统发育版本，用于：使用加权回归对效应大小进行合并；评估这些效应大小的同质性；进行类似于方差分析的调节因子测试；以及使用固定和随机效应模型分析数据。phyloMeta 是用 C/C++ 开发的，可以在 MS Windows 环境下通过命令行使用。
