RPANDA (version 2.3)

plot_dtt: Plot diversity through time

Description

Plot the estimated number of species through time

Usage

plot_dtt(fit.bd, tot_time, N0)

Value

Plot representing how the estimated number of species vary through time

Arguments

fit.bd

an object of class 'fit.bd', output of the 'fit_bd' function

tot_time

the age of the underlying phylogeny (crown age, or stem age if known). If working with crown ages, tot_time is given by max(node.age(phylo)$ages).

N0

number of extant species. If all extant species are represented in the phylogeny, N0 is given by length(phylo$tip.label)
