object containing calcConv or convSig output |
phy |
The time calibrated phylogeny of interest in phylo format |
focaltaxa |
a vector of tip labels for the putatively convergent taxa to be compared |
nsim |
number of null simulations to plot |
col |
vector of colors to use for all unique intergroup comparisons a default option is given usable with up to five groups. If number of groups is 1 or less than length of col, not all colors will be used |
groups |
an optional vector of groups with names matching focaltaxa, indicating the group identity of all focaltaxa |

optional arguments to be passed to tiplabels |
Creates a plot that shows the phenotypic distances between pairs of putatively convergent lineages over time. When these distances decrease, convergence has occurred. When more than two putatively convergent taxa are analyzed, all pairs are plotted.
A plot identifying putatively convergent taxa in the provided phylogeny and tracking the change in phenotypic distance between taxa since their most recent common ancestor
