物种丰富度的研究一直受到阻碍的使用方法，不能占系统发育的非独立性的字符状态。MacroCAIC是一个计算机程序，它扩展了非遗传独立对比的方法，以涵盖物种丰富度数据。它检查用户选择的字符与物种丰富度的相关性，从而更清楚地识别驱动大规模的多样性模式的因素。
Studies of species richness have been hampered by the use of methods that fail to account for phylogenetic non-independence of character states. MacroCAIC is a computer program that extends the method of phylogenetically independent contrasts to encompass species-richness data. It examines user-selected characters for correlation with species richness, thus allowing clearer identification of the factors driving large-scale patterns of diversity.
