[R-sig-phylo] BD process in Nee et al. (1994)

Dear all, Does anyone know of a function in R which would provide the analytical solution to the expectation for the number of species over time derived by Nee et al. (1994, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond B.)? Thanks, Karla [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Karla, ape has several functions to simulate trees that make use of these formulas (see ?rphylo). However, the formulas you are looking for may not be directly accessible from R, so you need to check the sources of ape. You may also need to use the last testing version of ape since a bug
