Estimating how the number of species in a given group varied in the deep past is of key interest to evolutionary biologists. However, current phylogenetic approaches for obtaining such estimates have
Measures of phylogenetic diversity are basic tools in many studies of systematic biology. Faith’s PD (sum of branch lengths of a phylogenetic tree connecting all focal species) is the most widely used
This R code provides a computational framework to perform a biogeographical regionalisation based on phylogenetic beta diversity. For this purpose, we will use two data sets: -Distribution_Data.csv: a
Supplementary Methods, Figures and Tables;Phylogenetic datasets used in our analyses. Each dataset is a nexus file including a tree distribution with 100 trees (except for planktonic foraminifera).
