Hi I’m doing some analysis in which I produce a variable number of phylogenetic trees with the same tips in a nexus file, then import them into R for analysis (these are trees along a genome). The name of each tree is meaningful (it is a position along the genome). However, in a few simulations, the nexus file has only a single tree in it. In this case, read.nexus returns not a multiPhylo object, but a single tree, with the name of the tree lost. I wonder if it would be sensible to have a force.multi option to read.nexus(), by default set to FALSE (to retain compatibility), but which, if set to TRUE, returns a multiPhylo object even if there is only one tree in the file?
