FossilSim 2.4.1 (2024-10-02)
- fixed dependency issues due to the new ggtree version
FossilSim 2.4.0 (2024-09-05)
New functionality
- added a new structure, the
fbdrange
object, to store the results of FBD-range inferences with budding (e.g. the output of the sRanges
package for BEAST2)
- added plotting for
fbdrange
objects, showing the oriented tree with stratigraphic ranges
Bug fixes
- improved checks on
fossils
object so invalid data types are rejected instead of crashing
- removed
alphanumeric
option from paleotree.record.to.fossils
as it was incompatible with the fix to data types
FossilSim 2.3.3 (2024-04-29)
New functionality
plot.fossils
now integrates an optional extant sampling probability (rho
) when plotting the reconstructed tree
Function changes
- cosmetic changes to
plot.fossils
to make the axis more visible
- colours used for the taxonomy in
plot.fossils
and plot.taxonomy
are no longer random and can be customized
FossilSim 2.3.2 (2023-10-05)
New functionality
sim.tip.samples
and sim.extant.samples
can now use tip-specific sampling probabilities by setting argument rho
to a vector of values instead of a single value.
Technical changes
- package
TreeSim
was moved from dependencies to suggested packages. A separate installation of TreeSim
is now required to run functions sim.fbd.*
FossilSim 2.3.1 (2022-07-19)
New functionality
sim.fossils.environment
now takes an argument use.exact.times
which determines if fossil sampling times are recorded exactly or based on interval bounds
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug in
plot.fossils
and plot.taxonomy
which would not restore plotting parameters properly in some cases.
Documentation changes
- Updated the documentation of FBD simulation functions (
sim.fbd.taxa
, sim.fbd.age
) to clarify the sampling process when complete = FALSE
FossilSim 2.3.0 (2022-04-19)
New functionality
- Added Lewis Mk, BM (Brownian motion) and OU (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) models as options to simulate traits in function
sim.trait.values
.
Function changes
SAtree.from.fossils
now returns a list of tree
(the resulting SA tree) and fossils
(the original fossils
data.frame updated to include the tip label of each fossil in the SA tree). NB: this change breaks compatibility with previous versions of the function.
FossilSim 2.2.0 (2021-04-05)
New functionality
- Added option to plot the reconstructed tree for a set of fossils and tree objects. This can be done by passing
reconstructed = TRUE
to plot.fossils
or the objects can be generated separately using the function reconstructed.tree.fossils.objects
.
Functions associated with the occurrence birth-death model
- Added
fossils
as a function argument to the fossil simulation functions so that existing fossil objects can be appended.
- Added
ignore.taxonomy
as a function argument to the fossil simulation functions. If true
function will not return species or edge info.
- Added
show.unknown
to plotting function. If species or edge info is unknown these fossils will appear next to the tree.
Bug fixes
- Fixed bug in
plot.fossils
which led to proxy data being plotted the wrong way round on the x-axis.
FossilSim 2.1.1 (2019-02-21)
- Fixed a bug in
sim.fbd.rateshift.taxa
which led to trees being simulated with the wrong rates. NB: Any dataset simulated with this function before the fix is invalid and needs to be rerun.
FossilSim 2.1.0 (2018-11-16)
New functionality
- The new function
fossils.to.pyrate
can be used to convert objects generated by this package into PyRate format.
- The new functions
fossils.to.BEAST.constraints
and fossils.to.BEAST.start.tree.Rd
can be used to convert objects generated by this package into BEAST2 format.
- The new functions
subsample.fossils.oldest
, subsample.fossils.oldest.and.youngest
, subsample.fossils.uniform
and subsample.fossils.youngest
can be used to subsample fossil occurrences.
Function changes
- The innovative rates model has been integrated into the independent model in the function
sim.trait.values
. Parameters are unchanged.
- The asymmetric plot function has been renamed
rangeplot.asymmetric
and separated from the SAtree
objects.
Bugfixes
- Fixed several bugs in
rangeplot.asymmetric
that could lead to crashes or plots with missing edges.
- Fixed a bug in
SAtree.from.fossils
where SAtree
objects were not created properly when using an empty fossils
object.
