Analysis of Convergent Evolution

Quantifies and assesses the significance of convergent evolution using two different methods (and 5 different measures) as described in Stayton (2015) <DOI: 10.1111/evo.12729>. Also displays results in a phylomorphospace framework.

Functions (12)

allmaxdist

Calculates maxdist for all pairs of taxa in a phylogeny.

ancestrallineages

Extracts lineages leading to two tips, t1 and t2, from their most recent common ancestor.

calcchanges

Calculates all phenotypic changes that occur on all branches of a phylogeny.

convnum

Quantify convergence by the number of convergent events

convnumsig

Assess the significance of convergent evolution using simulations and the convnum metric

convrat

Quantifies convergent evolution using the C1, C2, C3, and C4 measures as described by Stayton (2015).

convratsig

Tests the signifiance of convergent evolution by the ratio of the current to maximum past phenotypic distance

findanc

Find the ancestor of a given node in a phylogeny

labelstonumbers

Converts taxon names to tip/edge numbers

maxdist

Calculates the maximum phenotypic distance between the lineages leading to a pair of taxa.
