Hi,

I am working with a phylog tree and I would like to extract a subset of the
tree based on the species names (conserving the evolutionary distance and
relationships between the pairs of species I am interested in). I see there
is an option to select a subset of the tree using node names
(phylog.extract), but this is not what I need since one node could take me
to several species, some of which I am not interested in. This happens, for
example, when I have a phylogenetic tree for, say, all bird species of North
America, but I am only interested on those 20 that occur in my community,
and I would like to extract the phylog tree for these species. Would anyone
have any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks a lot,

Christine
