Data summarizing the evolution of a fake continuous trait in Ponerinae ants extracted for 10 Mya

Source: R/datasets_doc_for_CRAN.R
Ponerinae_trait_cont_tip_data_10My.Rd

A list containing estimated values for a fake continuous trait mapped on the Ponerinae ant phylogeny, modeled with geiger::fitContinuous. This object was obtained with extract_most_likely_trait_values_for_focal_time() applied on trait evolution data obtained with prepare_trait_data(). The phylogeny used is NOT a properly time-calibrated phylogeny. It uses an ill-designed old calibration for illustrative purposes.

Usage

data(Ponerinae_trait_cont_tip_data_10My)

Format

A list with 4 elements.

Details

A list of four elements containing information on the evolution of a continuous trait in Ponerinae ants extracted for 10 Mya.

  • $trait_data Named numeric vector. Names are the taxa or internal tipward node ID associated with the values. Values are the continuous trait data estimated along branches for 10 Mya.

  • $focal_time Numeric. Time in the past at which the trait data were extracted.

  • $trait_data_type Character string. Record the type of trait data. Here: "continuous".

  • $contMap A phylogenetic tree and associated mapping of estimated trait values. It was updated such that the tips correspond to lineages found 10 Mya (i.e., at the focal time in the past).
