In FossilSim: Simulation of Fossil and Taxonomy Data

Obtain a subsample of fossil occurrences containing the oldest and youngest fossil sample found at each node of the tree.

Description

Obtain a subsample of fossil occurrences containing the oldest and youngest fossil sample found at each node of the tree.

Usage

subsample.fossils.oldest.and.youngest(fossils, tree, complete = TRUE)

Arguments

fossils	an object of class "fossils" that corresponds to fossil occurrences.
tree	an object of class "Phylo", representing the tree upon which the fossil occurrences were simulated.
complete	logical, if TRUE the oldest and youngest sample from each clade in the complete tree is returned, if FALSE the oldest and youngest sample from each clade in the extant only counterpart tree is returned.

Value

an object of class "fossils" containing the subsampled fossil occurrences.

Examples

t = TreeSim::sim.bd.taxa(10, 1, 0.1, 0.05)[[1]]
f = sim.fossils.poisson(0.1, t, root.edge = FALSE)
subsample.fossils.oldest.and.youngest(f, t, complete = FALSE)
