Make fossil species on a phylogeny
This function takes an object of class 'phylo' and
randomly changes the lengths of the leaves.
makeFossil(tree,p=0.5,ex=0.5)
tree |
a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and fully dichotomous. |
p |
the proportion of tips involved. By default it is half of the number of tips. |
ex |
the multiplying parameter to change the leaf lengths. It is set at 0.5 by default. |
The function produces a phylogeny having the same backbone of the original one.
