Hi Juan.

This update is pretty new so is probably not on CRAN. Do you have the latest version of phytools installed from GitHub? To install from GitHub I recommend using the package devtools:

## in a fresh R session
install.packages("devtools") ## install devtools from CRAN
library(devtools)
install_github("liamrevell/phytools")
library(phytools)

All the best, Liam

Hi

I wonder whether there is a way to change the colours of the
host-parasite associations in plot.cophylo in phytools.

I tried:

t1 <- rtree(10) t2 <- rtree(10) obj <- cophylo(t1,t2) plot.cophylo(obj,
link.col= "red")

But the links appear in black. According to the code in
https://github.com/liamrevell/phytools/blob/master/R/cophylo.R, link.col
is set in the internal function makelinks (l. 119), being "black" the
default. However, in function plot.cophylo (l. 151-152), it is indicated

if(hasArg(link.col)) link.col<-list(...)$link.col else link.col<-"black"

So I can't see why link.color = "red" didn't work.

Eventually I wish to code each host-parasite association as a colour in
function of a continuous trait.

Actually I managed to do it with cophyloplot in ape

cophyloplot(TreeH, TreeP, assoc=links, use.edge.length=FALSE,
            gap=0, space=20, col=links$Col)

Where links$Col is a vector of colours ranging from "red" to "blue".
However, I'd rather use plot.cophylo to the advantage of the optimal
rotation of branches.

Any help will be most welcome.
