Get 100 randomly selected mega-trees of Mammals from VertLife

Description

The first 50 phylogenies use the Node Dating Exponential backbone and the second 50 use the Fossil Birth Death backbone (Upham et al. 2019). Because of the large file size (~11 MB), this dataset is not bundled with the package and is downloaded and cached locally on first use.

Usage

get_tree_mammal_n100_vertlife(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

Logical. Re-download even if a local cache exists. Default FALSE.

Value

A multiPhylo object. Each phylogeny also has a data frame genus_family_root with root node information for every unique genus and family, usable for inserting new tips onto the phylogeny.
