Hi,
I'm trying to use the picante r package. My aim is to use it to construct phylogenetic trees and calculate diversity statistics from species occurrence data in different geographic regions. So, I have a list of species names with abundance information (number of occurrences) and would like to use Phylomatic to construct a tree. The Phylomatic documentation mentions that a reference tree is needed and different examples of megatrees ( http://svn.phylodiversity.net/tot/megatrees/) are given for this. However, they apply only (I think) to trees and plants. My data includes other kinds of organisms. Do you know of any other downloadable reference trees that include the whole taxonomy? Thank you very much.
