`phy`	phylo object
`x`	A data.frame, matrix or dist object
`colID`	Numeric or character ID of column to include
`int.node`	internal node number
`return.names`	TRUE or FALSE
`scaled`	Scale contrasts by branch length

Various utility functions for manipulating trees, data, etc.

`df2vec`	A named vector
`internal2tips`	Vector of tips descended from a node
`node.age`	Phylo object with phylo\$ages vector of node ages corresponding to phylo\$edge
`pic.variance`	Variance of independent contrasts
`sortColumns`	A data.frame or matrix with columns sorted by name
`sortRows`	A data.frame or matrix with rows sorted by name
`taxaShuffle`	Matrix with taxa names shuffled
`tipShuffle`	Phylo object with taxa names shuffled
