Colonization and branching times of terrestrial avifaunal clades from Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde and Madeira in list format, accepted by DAISIE_ML and DAISIE_loglik_all
Description
A list containing the colonization and branching times of the terrestrial
avifauna in 4 archipelagos: Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde and Madeira.
It is an R list object with the 4 main elements corresponding to each of the
archipelagos (e.g. Macaronesia_datalist[[1]] calls the Azores data). Each of
the four elements is then made of several elemants:
The first element of the list for an archipelago has two components:
$island_age - the island age
$not_present - the number of
mainland lineages that are not present on the island
The following elements of the list each contains information on a single colonist lineage
on the island and has 5 components:
$colonist_name - the name
of the species or clade that colonized the island
$branching_times - island age followed by stem age of the population/species
in the case of Non-endemic, Non-endemic_MaxAge species and Endemic species with no close
relatives on the island. For endemic clades with more than one species on the island
(cladogenetic clades/ radiations) these should be island age followed by the
branching times of the island clade including the stem age of the clade.
* Non_endemic_MaxAge: 1
* Endemic: 2
* Endemic&Non_Endemic: 3
* Non_endemic: 4
* Endemic_MaxAge: 5
$missing_species - number of island species that were not sampled for
particular clade (only applicable for endemic clades)
$type1or2 -
whether the colonist belongs to type 1 or type 2. In this dataset all are
equal to 1.
Format
A list with 4 main elements for each archipelago. Each element has several sub-elements.
