ConsensusWithout() displays a consensus plot with specified taxa excluded,
which can be a useful way to increase the resolution of a consensus tree
when a few wildcard taxa obscure a consistent set of relationships.
MarkMissing() adds missing taxa as loose leaves on the plot.
ConsensusWithout(trees, tip = character(0), ...)
# S3 method for phylo
ConsensusWithout(trees, tip = character(0), ...)
# S3 method for multiPhylo
ConsensusWithout(trees, tip = character(0), ...)
# S3 method for list
ConsensusWithout(trees, tip = character(0), ...)
MarkMissing(tip, position = "bottomleft", ...)Arguments
- trees
A list of phylogenetic trees, of class
multiPhyloorlist.- tip
A character vector specifying the names (or numbers) of tips to drop (using
ape::drop.tip()).- ...
Additional parameters to pass on to
ape::consensus()orlegend().- position
Where to plot the missing taxa. See
legend()for options.
Value
ConsensusWithout() returns a consensus tree (of class phylo)
without the excluded taxa.
MarkMissing() provides a null return, after plotting the specified
tips as a legend.

Examples
oldPar <- par(mfrow = c(1, 2), mar = rep(0.5, 4))
# Two trees differing only in placement of tip 2:
trees <- as.phylo(c(0, 53), 6)
plot(trees[[1]])
plot(trees[[2]])
# Strict consensus (left panel) lacks resolution:
plot(ape::consensus(trees))
# But omitting tip two (right panel) reveals shared structure in common:
plot(ConsensusWithout(trees, "t2"))
MarkMissing("t2")
