It's hard to tell what you did exactly. Did you do:

mytree <- compute.brlen(mytree)

? That should have worked. I've cc'ed this message to r-sig-phylo, which is the more appropriate forum.

Cheers,

Simon.

Dear All,


I am having some trouble with R and would be extremely grateful if anyone has a way around this. I have loaded a nexus 
tree from PAUP into R using the command read.nexus and this loaded,  it was reported as "rooted; with no branch 
lengths". I then used the command "compute.brlen(mytree)" to compute the branch lengths and this was 
reported as "rooted; includes branch lengths". I added my community data (samp) and then tried to compute the 
phylogenetic diversity with the command "> pd(samp, mytree, include.root=TRUE)" however it said it could not 
calculate the PD as there were no branch lengths. Is there a way to incorporate the branch lengths into the calculation 
for PD?


Thanks for your time,

Beth
