Re: [R-sig-phylo] grafting chronograms onto backbone phylogeny

If your case is simple - like you have a tree with tips labeled by genus, and each species label from each subtree to be bound has tip labels in the format Genus_species, this could be done using bind.tree in ape. For instance: library(phytools) ## here's your backbone backbone<-read.tree(text="

Re: [R-sig-phylo] grafting chronograms onto backbone phylogeny

Look at congruify.phylo in geiger (and the associated paper: Eastman JM, LJ Harmon, and DC Tank. 2013. Congruification: support for time scaling large phylogenetic trees. Methods in Ecology and Evolution). You could also look into SDM in ape (converting trees [not data] to distance matrices, first
