species.tip.length: Compute species tip length

In phyloraster: Evolutionary Diversity Metrics for Raster Data

Compute species tip length

Description

Computation of species tip length using a phylogeny.

Usage

species.tip.length(tree = NULL, edge.info = NULL, ...)

Arguments

tree	phylo. A dated tree.
edge.info	Object returned by tip.root.path consisting of a list containing the edge matrix (H1) with the path from tip to root and and a numeric vector (edge.length) giving the length of each branch of the tree.
...	additional arguments to be passed passed down from a calling function.

Details

Calculates tip lengths for all species in a phylogeny

Value

returns a numeric vector giving the length of species branch.

Examples

library(phyloraster)
tree <- ape::read.tree(system.file("extdata", "tree.nex",
package="phyloraster"))

species.tip.length(tree)

library(ape)
set.seed(1)
tree <- rtree(n=40)

plot(tree)

species.tip.length(tree)

edge.info <- tip.root.path(tree)

species.tip.length(edge.info = edge.info)
