Rhinograd phylogenetic tree

A phylogenetic tree (phylo object) for 100 simulated Rhinograd species. This tree is used to demonstrate phylogenetic Bayesian structural equation modeling with the becauseR package.

Usage

rhino.tree

Format

A phylo object (from the ape package) with 100 tips and 99 internal nodes. The tree has been scaled so that the root age is 1.0.
