Description

Internal function for posterior.evolrate.

Usage

paste.tree(tr1, tr2)

Arguments

tr1

Details

Primarily designed as an internal function for posterior.evolrate; however, can be used to graft a clade onto a receptor tree at the "sticky tip" labeled with "NA".

The donor clade needs to have a root edge, even if it is zero length.
