David and Wayne Maddison the developers behind MacClade and Mesquite are shifting their efforts away from MacClade which will not work under MacOS X Lion. Because of this they have decided to release MacClade for free. This a great phylogenetics software that is largely gui driven and is a little easier to learn than some of the more common command line only alternatives out there. The manual by itself is actually a pretty handy resource since it includes a lot of theory as well as examples.

Excellent, thanks for the head's up! I'll make sure to install this on our labs Mac soon!
