brranching

Description

Brranching is an interface to many different sources of phylogenetic data (currently only from Phylomatic (http://phylodiversity.net/phylomatic/), but more sources to come) that allows users to query for phylogenetic data using taxonomic names.

Installation

Stable CRAN version

install.packages("brranching")

Or dev version

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/brranching")

library("brranching")

Phylomatic

taxa <- c("Poa annua", "Phlox diffusa", "Helianthus annuus")
tree <- phylomatic(taxa=taxa, get = 'POST')
plot(tree, no.margin=TRUE)

You can pass in up to about 5000 names. We can use taxize to get a random set of plant species names.

library("taxize")
spp <- names_list("species", 200)
out <- phylomatic(taxa = spp, get = "POST")
plot(out, show.tip.label = FALSE)
