findanc
(Package: convevol) :
Find the ancestor of a given node in a phylogeny
This function will find the ancestor of a given node in a phylogeny. It will return a two-element vector, which will contain both the node of the ancestor and the number of the edge that connects the node and ancestor.

calcchanges
(Package: convevol) :
Calculates all phenotypic changes that occur on all branches of a phylogeny.
Calculates the Euclidean distance between all ancestors and descendants on a phylogeny to reconstruct the phenotypic changes that occur along all edges of a phylogeny.

convnumsig
(Package: convevol) :
Assess the significance of convergent evolution using simulations and the convnum metric
Simulates evolution along a given phylogeny, using parameters derived from observed data, and calculates the convnum metric for each simulation for a set of user-defined taxa. Then compares the observed convnum value to the simulated values to assess the significance of the observed levels of convergent evolution.

maxdist
(Package: convevol) :
Calculates the maximum phenotypic distance between the lineages leading to a pair of taxa.
maxdist uses ancestral state reconstruction to determine the maximum distance between any ancestors of those two taxa.

multianc
(Package: convevol) :
Reconstructs ancestral states for multiple characters
Uses fastAnc to reconstruct ancestral states for multiple phenotypic characters

allmaxdist
(Package: convevol) :
Calculates maxdist for all pairs of taxa in a phylogeny.
allmaxdist Uses maxdist to calcualte the maximum phenotypic. distance between the ancestors of all pairs of taxa in a phylogeny. By default outputs these as a matrix, but can also output a list. Can take some time to run for large trees.

convratsig
(Package: convevol) :
Tests the signifiance of convergent evolution by the ratio of the current to maximum past phenotypic distance
convratsig tests the significance of convergence (as quantified by convrat) using evolutionary simulations.

convnum
(Package: convevol) :
Quantify convergence by the number of convergent events
This program takes in a set of taxa that are already suspected to be convergent in a particular area of morphospace. It then counts the number of times that a lineage has invaded that region of morphospace.
