ouchDescendants: Obtain Descendants from an 'ouch' Tree

In surface: Fitting Hansen Models to Investigate Convergent Evolution

Description

Identifies the nodes and tip taxa descended from a given ancestor in an ouchtree or hansentree object. Used to test whether two ‘convergent’ regimes are actually nested when randomly placing regime shifts in a Hansen model in the function surfaceSimulate

Usage

ouchDescendants(node, otree)

Arguments

node	Which node in the ouchtree object to identify the descendants of
otree	An ouchtree object

Value

A vector of integers corresponding to the descendents (integers match the @nodes element of the ouchtree)
