If tips==NULL
and type="node"
(the default) it will return the result of a normal function call to mrca
.
If tips=NULL
and type="height"
it will return a matrix equal to that produced by vcv.phylo
.
From phytools 0.5-66
forward findMRCA
uses getMRCA
in the ape package internally, which results in a big speed-up. Even though the two functions are thus totally redundant I have left findMRCA
in the package to ensure backward compatibility.
