plotGMPhyloMorphoSpace: Plot phylogenetic tree and specimens in tangent space

Description

Function plots a phylogenetic tree and a set of Procrustes-aligned specimens in tangent space

Usage

plotGMPhyloMorphoSpace(phy, A, labels = TRUE, ancStates = TRUE)

Arguments

phy

A phylogenetic tree of {class phylo} - see read.tree in library ape

A

A matrix (n x [p x k]) or 3D array (p x k x n) containing GPA-aligned coordinates for a set of specimens

labels

A logical value indicating whether taxa labels should be included

ancStates

A logical value indicating whether ancestral state values should be returned

Value

• Function returns estimated ancestral states if {ancStates=TRUE}

Details

The function creates a plot of the first two dimensions of tangent space for a set of Procrustes-aligned specimens. The phylogenetic tree for these specimens is superimposed in this plot revealing how shape evolves (e.g., Rohlf 2002; Klingenberg and Gidaszewski 2010). The plot also displays the ancestral states for each node of the phylogenetic tree (obtained from ace), whose values can optionally be returned.
