distinctTree: Tree-based Species' Originality

In adiv: Analysis of Diversity

Tree-based Species' Originality

Description

The function calculates indices of species' originality that rely on the structure and branch lengths of (phylogenetic) trees. Trees with polytomies are allowed.

Usage

distinctTree(phyl, method = c("ED", "ES", "Delta*"), palpha = 0, standardized = FALSE)

Arguments

phyl	an object inheriting the class phylo (see package ape), phylo4 (see package phylobase) or hclust.
method	a string or a vector of strings. Possible values are "ED", "ES", and "Delta*". "ED" is for the evolutionary distinctiveness, also named fair-proportion, index (Redding 2003; Isaac et al. 2007); "ES" is for the Equal-Splits index (Redding and Mooers 2006); "Delta*" is for the parametric ^{\alpha}\Delta index of Pavoine and Ricotta (2021).
palpha	a numeric value or a numeric vector of values for parameter \alpha of ^{\alpha}\Delta index by Pavoine and Ricotta (2021).
standardized	a logical. If TRUE, the vector of originalities is divided by its sum (transforming absolute originalities into relative originalities).

Value

A data frame with species as rows and originality indices as columns.
