insert_nodes.Rd

It adds non-bifurcating nodes in the branches of the phylogenetic tree to represent events of ancestral character changes, specifically change in range states from biogeographic ancestral reconstruction.

Usage

insert_nodes(tree, inserts, node_area = NULL)

Arguments

tree

An object of class 'phylo'.

inserts

a data frame create with the function get_insert_df()

node_area

default NULL. One column data frame indicating the range area of each node (rows)

Value

a list with 2 elements:

  • $phylo: a phylogenetic tree with added non-bifurcating nodes

  • $node_area: a data frame with the node area for each added node. If the argument node_area is not NULL, all the node area are included in the data frame.
