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

Source: R/datasets_doc.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 vector of numerical values. 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 Numerical. Time in the past at which the trait data where 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 as the tips correspond to lineages found 10 Mya (i.e., at the focal time in the past).
