getGenus

The function returns the most recent common ancestor and the
 number of species belonging to each or some user-specified genera within
 the phylogenetic tree.

Functions for phylogenetic analysis (Castiglione et al., 2018 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12954>). The functions perform the estimation of phenotypic evolutionary rates, identification of phenotypic evolutionary rate shifts, quantification of direction and size of evolutionary change in multivariate traits, the computation of ontogenetic shape vectors and test for morphological convergence.
