bind.tip

tree

a string containing the species name for the new tip.

tip.label

edge length for the new tip (a scalar).

edge.length

node number to attach new tip. If <code>position&gt;0</code> then then tip will be attached below the specified node. Node numbers can also be tips, in which case the new tip will be added along the terminal edge. To find out the tip number for given species with name "species" type: <code>which(tree$tip.label=="species"</code>.

where

distance below node to add tip.

position

logical value indicating whether or not the species should be added interactively. (Defaults to <code>FALSE</code>.)

interactive

arguments to be passed to <code>plotTree</code> (for <code>interactive=TRUE</code>.)

Functions adds a new tip to the tree. If the tree is ultrametric and no branch length is specified, then <code>edge.length</code> is scaled so that the tree remains ultrametric after the new tip is added.

utilities

phylogenetics

A wide range of functions for phylogenetic analysis. Functionality is concentrated in phylogenetic comparative biology, but also includes a diverse array of methods for visualizing, manipulating, reading or writing, and even inferring phylogenetic trees and data. Included among the functions in phylogenetic comparative biology are various for ancestral state reconstruction, model-fitting, simulation of phylogenies and data, and multivariate analysis. There are a broad range of plotting methods for phylogenies and comparative data which include, but are not restricted to, methods for mapping trait evolution on trees, for projecting trees into phenotypic space or a geographic map, and for visualizing correlated speciation between trees. Finally, there are a number of functions for reading, writing, analyzing, inferring, simulating, and manipulating phylogenetic trees and comparative data not covered by other packages. For instance, there are functions for randomly or non-randomly attaching species or clades to a phylogeny, for estimating supertrees or consensus phylogenies from a set, for simulating trees and phylogenetic data under a range of models, and for a wide variety of other manipulations and analyses that phylogenetic biologists might find useful in their research.
