Simulate a taxonomy object relating species identity to a phylo object under a mixed model of speciation. Anagenetic and cryptic species can also be added later using the sim.anagenetic.species and sim.cryptic.species functions.

Usage

sim.taxonomy(tree, beta = 0, lambda.a = 0, kappa = 0, root.edge = TRUE)

Arguments

tree

Phylo object.

beta

Probability of bifurcating speciation. Default = 0.

lambda.a

Rate of anagenetic speciation. Default = 0.

kappa

Probability that speciation event is cryptic. Default = 0.
