This function is a wrapper around phytoolsgetDescendants (Revell 2012). It returns the node path from a
given node or species to the root of the phylogeny.
Usage
getMommy(tree,N)
Value
The function produces a vector of node numbers as integers, collated
from a node or a tip towards the tree root.
Arguments
tree
a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and
fully dichotomous.
N
the number of node or tip to perform the function on. The function also works with tip/node labels.
