ecospat.calculate.pd: Calculate Phylogenetic Diversity Measures

In ecospat: Spatial Ecology Miscellaneous Methods

Calculate Phylogenetic Diversity Measures

Description

Calculate all phylogenetic diversity measures listed in Schweiger et al., 2008 (see full reference below).

Usage

ecospat.calculate.pd (tree, data, method="spanning", type="clade", root=FALSE, 
average=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

tree	The phylogenetic tree
data	A presence or absence (binary) matrix for each species (columns) in each location or grid cell (rows)
method	The method to use. Options are "pairwise", "topology", and "spanning". Default is "spanning".
type	Phylogenetic measure from those listed in Schweiger et al 2008. Options are "Q", "P", "W", "clade", "species", "J", "F", "AvTD","TTD", "Dd". Default is "clade".
root	Phylogenetic diversity can either be rooted or unrooted. Details in Schweiger et al 2008. Default is FALSE.
average	Phylogenetic diversity can either be averaged or not averaged. Details in Schweiger et al 2008. Default is FALSE.
verbose	Boolean indicating whether to print progress output during calculation. Default is FALSE.

Details

Given a phylogenetic tree and a presence/absence matrix this script calculates phylogenetic diversity of a group of species across a given set of grid cells or locations. The library "ape" is required to read the tree in R. Command is "read.tree" or "read.nexus". Options of type: "P" is a normalized mearure of "Q". "clade" is "PDnode" when root= FALSE, and is "PDroot" ehn root =TRUE. "species" is "AvPD".

Value

This function returns a list of phylogenetic diversity values for each of the grid cells in the presence/absence matrix
