tids

tip ids

parallel

logical, make parallel?

Details

Faith's phylogenetic diversity is calculated as the sum of all connected branches for specified tips in a tree. It can be used to investigate how biodviersity as measured by the phylogeny changes. Parallelizable. The function uses getCnntdNds().
