Suggested Citation PAUP* 4.0 is in many ways comparable to a monographic article. In its approximately 180,000 lines of code, PAUP* implements numerous original concepts and ideas and contains many new algorithms. For these reasons, citation of the program in a book format is recommended: Swofford, D. L. 2002. PAUP*. Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (*and Other Methods).
