Future work:

• Add symbiontic or other attributes to the nodes.
• Parsimony analysis of coevolving species associations + recontruction the history of host-parasite associations. Recontruction the history of host-parasite associations.
• enrichment tests. Analyse der Zusammensetzung von Species. Tree über funktionen...
• add Branchlenght: time / DNA / other distances -> DB mit Divergenzzeiten
