#Functional diversity, phylogenetic diversity, conservation and trait evolution models

This repository contains R codes that can be used to evaluate, under many different models of trait evolution, whether selecting m species to maximize PD lead to more functional diversity than a random set of species of the same size.

In this repository, we provide three files:

• CreateImbalancedTrees.R, which enable the user to create imbalanced trees of a given size
• FunctionsToLoad.R, which contains functions needed to run the PD/FD analysis
• RunAnalysis.R, which run the entire analysis given a set of parameters
  • size and type of the phylogenetic tree,
  • number of traits,
  • model of trait evolution and its parameters
  • number of species selected in the subset,
