Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Internal function to get presence absence of descendent branches from a vector of node numbers. The descendents include the branch leading to the focal node (i.e. node defines the stem group no crown group

1	cladeIdentity(phy, nodeIDs, cladeMembersObj = NULL)

`phy`	An object of class "phylo" (see ape package).
`nodeIDs`	Vector of node numbers (positive integers).
`cladeMembersObj`	Matrix of clade membership

The function returns a matrix of unique presences given the selected node. If the selected nodes are nested then presences are only recorded for the least inclusive node.

matrix Matrix of unique presences for each node id
