This vignette describes how to integrate the StratPal
package with the FossilSim and the paleotree
packages.
FossilSim packageAs is, the StratPal package handles fossils
objects as constructed by the FossilSim package. These
objects represent fossils sampled along a tree (phylogeny). They can be
transformed using the functions apply_taphonomy and
apply_niche. This will remove fossil occurrences according
to preservation potential and change on taphonomic conditions (or niche
definition and change in gradient). Note that this corresponds to an
nonparametric expansion of the variable recovery model as implemented in
FossilSim.
For examples see the documentation of the functions
apply_niche and apply_taphonomy.
paleotreeTo combine the StratPal package with the
paleotree package, please convert the
paleotree format into the FossilSim format as
described in the paleotree vignette of the
FossilSim vignette:
After conversion you can proceed as described in the section
Integration with the FossilSim package
