Hello all

I am working with a cophylogenetic problem where I have a host tree, a parasite tree and a binary matrix HP encapsulating the host-parasite associations . After trimming the matrix according to a given criterion, I require to prune the trees accordingly. Since I am getting errors at the execution I devised the following control function to check the number of tree nodes after pruning:

z <- function (hp, treeH,treeP) {
  treeh <- drop.tip(treeH, setdiff(treeH$tip.label, rownames(hp)))
  treep <- drop.tip(treeP, setdiff(treeP$tip.label, colnames(hp)))
  res <- c(treeh$Nnode,treep$Nnode)
 return(res) 
 }

Then I try the following

x <- sapply (THP, z, treeH=TreeH[[7]], treeP= TreeP[[7]])

where THP is a list of trimmed HP matrices and TreeH and TreeP are multiphylo objects and get the following error:

Error in integer(max(oldnodes)) : vector size cannot be infinite

The traceback is

6. integer(max(oldnodes))
5. collapse.singles(phy)
4. drop.tip(treeP, setdiff(treeP$tip.label, colnames(hp)))
3. FUN(X[[i]], ...)
2. lapply(X = X, FUN = FUN, ...)
1. sapply(THP, z, treeH = TreeH[[7]], treeP = TreeP[[7]])

This error appears only with this particular pair of host and parasite trees (#7) and I cannot find a reason why this case should be different.

Any help will be very much appreciated.
