Computes the Strahler number of all nodes and tips in a phylogenetic tree.
strahlerNumber(tree, plot=TRUE)
extract.strahlerNumber(tree, i, plot=TRUE)
Either a vector with the Strahler number for each tip and internal node; or (for extract.strahlerNumber
the set of (most inclusive) subtrees with Strahler number i
as an object of class "multiPhylo"
.
an object of class "phylo"
.
order of Strahler number to extract for extract.strahlerNumber
.
logical value indicating whether to plot the tree with Strahler numbers for node labels.

The function strahlerNumber
computes the Strahler number of all nodes and tips in the tree. For more information about Strahler numbers see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strahler_number. The function extract.strahlerNumber
extracts all of the most inclusive clades of Strahler number i
.
