\title{
Is Group Monophyletic
}
\usage{
is.monophyletic(phy, tips, reroot = !is.rooted(phy), plot = FALSE, ...)
}
\description{
This function tests whether a list of tip labels is monophyletic on a given tree.
}
\arguments{
\item{phy}{
a phylogenetic tree description of class \code{"phylo"}.
}
\item{tips}{
a vector of mode numeric or character specifying the tips to be tested.
}
\item{reroot}{
a logical. If \code{FALSE}, then the input tree is not unrooted before the test.
}
\item{plot}{
a logical. If \code{TRUE}, then the tree is plotted with the specified group \code{tips} highlighted.
}
\item{\dots}{
further arguments passed to \code{plot}.
}
}
\details{
If \code{phy} is rooted, the test is done on the rooted tree, otherwise
the tree is first unrooted, then arbitrarily rerooted, in order to be
independent on the current position of the root. That is, the test
asks if \code{tips} could be monophyletic given any favourably rooting
of \code{phy}.
If \code{phy} is unrooted the test is done on an unrooted tree, unless
\code{reroot = FALSE} is specified.
If tip labels in the list \code{tips} are given as characters, they need
to be spelled as in the object \code{phy}.
}
\value{
\code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}.
