Dear Everyone,
So this is really strange. I tried what Dr. Revell suggested, and for the
two examples I gave it worked for *Cercopithecus albogularis*, but when I
applied it to *Cricetomys ansorgei *I got the message...
"Error in bind.tree(tree, tip, where = where, position = pp) :

Dear Russell.
For some reason, my emails don't seem to be getting through to the whole
list -- so my apologies if this ends up being redundant with another reply.
In short, if you supply a vector of tip labels that are identical (e.g.,
c("Cricetomys_emini","Cricetomys_emini")),
Hello Everyone,
Just to stack onto Liam’s “fun with apply family of functions”, I often use
lapply, which works well by having a function that only applies to the objects
in a list, but often — and for difficult to decipher reasons — breaks down if
the function is not predefined, is complex,

Russell,
If you're trying to do this across a lot of species, you're going to bump
into a lot of complexities like this. I got the impression you were trying
to do this for many species. For example, there's no reason that the taxon
you're adding is, even if we assume monophyly of the clade

Using a for loop is a great idea! Highly underrated in R, IMO.
However, for future reference, the reason that your code didn't work
with lapply is because the list you're
Dear Russell et al.
Using a for loop is a great idea! Highly underrated in R, IMO. ;)
However, for future reference, the reason that your code didn't work
with lapply is because the list you're 'applying' over (tree) also
appears among the arguments!
