tree.addTip

Add tips (i.e., new taxa) to an existing tree using an edge of a given length.

Includes algorithms to assess alpha and beta diversity
in all their dimensions (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional).
It allows performing a number of analyses based on species
identities/abundances, phylogenetic/functional distances, trees,
convex-hulls or kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes
depicting species relationships.
