allmaxdist Calculates maxdist for all pairs of taxa in a phylogeny.
ancestrallineages Extracts lineages leading to two tips, t1 and t2, from their most recent common ancestor.
calcchanges Calculates all phenotypic changes that occur on all branches of a phylogeny.
convnum Quantify convergence by the number of convergent events
convnumsig Assess the significance of convergent evolution using simulations and the convnum metric
convrat Quantifies convergent evolution using the C1, C2, C3, and C4 measures as described by Stayton (2015).
convratsig Tests the signifiance of convergent evolution by the ratio of the current to maximum past phenotypic distance
findanc Find the ancestor of a given node in a phylogeny
labelstonumbers Converts taxon names to tip/edge numbers
maxdist Calculates the maximum phenotypic distance between the lineages leading to a pair of taxa.
