Taxonomic Classification and Phylogeny of Dune Meadow Species

Description

Classification table of the species in the dune data set.

Usage

  data(dune.taxon)
  data(dune.phylodis)

Format

dune.taxon is data frame with 30 species (rows) classified into five taxonomic levels (columns). dune.phylodis is a dist object of estimated coalescence ages extracted from \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.5061/dryad.63q27")} (Zanne et al. 2014) using tools in packages ape and phylobase.

Details

The families and orders are based on APG IV (2016) in vascular plants and on Hill et al. (2006) in mosses. The higher levels (superorder and subclass) are based on Chase & Reveal (2009). Chase & Reveal (2009) treat Angiosperms and mosses as subclasses of class Equisetopsida (land plants), but brylogists have traditionally used much more inflated levels which are adjusted here to match Angiosperm classification.
