Hello, this might be a silly question and perhaps there's a quick way of doing this - but couldn't find it. Assume I have a list of species, list of families (or genera or any other higher order units) and a tree with those species as tips. I'd like to generate a tree where all species are collapsed to their families (or genera, etc.) so that now the tips of the tree are families and not individual species. Is there a function that could do this? I can easily imagine writing my own script but maybe any of you saw a similar procedure somewhere?
