Simulate taxonomy

Description

Simulate a taxonomy object relating species identity to a phylo object under a mixed model of speciation. Anagenetic and cryptic species can also be added later using the sim.anagenetic.species and sim.cryptic.species functions.

Usage

sim.taxonomy(tree, beta = 0, lambda.a = 0, kappa = 0, root.edge = TRUE)

Arguments

tree	Phylo object.
beta	Probability of bifurcating speciation. Default = 0.
lambda.a	Rate of anagenetic speciation. Default = 0.
kappa	Probability that speciation event is cryptic. Default = 0.
root.edge	If TRUE include root edge. Default = TRUE.

Value

An object of class taxonomy.
