Description

This function drops one or multiple tips from the modified "phylo" object with a mapped binary or multistate trait (see read.simmap) while maintaining the matrix $mapped.edge and list of mappings by branch maps. This function is equivalent to drop.tip but for a tree with a mapped discrete character.

extract.clade.simmap is functionally equivalent to extract.clade but preserves discrete character mappings on the tree.

Usage

Arguments

Value

A modified object of class "phylo" containing the elements maps and $mapped.edge with the time spent in each state along each edge of the tree.
