update_tree_ob_speciate: Update Simulation Object with Speciation Event

Description Usage Arguments Value

View source: R/macro_sim.R

Description

Function to update simulation object by adding add_br_len to the tips, then splitting a tip into two species

Usage

1
update_tree_ob_speciate(tree_ob, split_tip, mult = 1)

Arguments

tree_ob

The simulation object to update

split_tip

Integer expressing which tip number to split into two sister species

mult

Multiplier which determines the proportional increase in trait evolution rate at a speciation event. This causes species to diverge more rapidly than usual if greater than one. Generally used to make sure a speciation is accompanied by a 'jump' in trait values, which helps them not immediately go extinct from competition

Value

An updated simulation object
