This function can be used to remove species from an object of class treedata.table. The resulting treedata.table will include fully matching $dat and $phy elements. The user should confirm the changes before they are processed.

Usage

droptreedata.table(tdObject, taxa)

Arguments

tdObject

An object of class treedata.table

taxa

A vector class character containing all taxa that needs to be dropped from the original treedata.table object

Value

An object of class treedata.table with matching $dat and $phy

elements based on whether taxa were dropped or not.

Examples

data(anolis)
# With a multiphylo object in the treedata.table object
td <- as.treedata.table(anolis$phy, anolis$dat)
#> Tip labels detected in column: X
#> Phylo object detected 
#> All tips from original tree/dataset were preserved
droptreedata.table(
  tdObject = td, taxa =
    c("chamaeleonides", "eugenegrahami")
)
#> 2 taxa were dropped from the treedata.table object
#> $phy 
#> 
#> Phylogenetic tree with 98 tips and 97 internal nodes.
#> 
#> Tip labels:
#>   ahli, allogus, rubribarbus, imias, sagrei, bremeri, ...
