## Taxonomic Classification and Phylogeny of Dune Meadow Species

### Description

Classification table of the species in the `dune` data set.

### Usage

      data(dune.taxon)
      data(dune.phylodis)

### Format

`dune.taxon` is data frame with 30 species (rows) classified into five taxonomic levels (columns). `dune.phylodis` is a `dist` object of estimated coalescence ages extracted from http://datadryad.org/resource/doi:10.5061/dryad.63q27 (Zanne et al. 2014) using tools in packages ape and phylobase.

### Details

The families and orders are based on APG IV (2016) in vascular plants and on Hill et al. (2006) in mosses. The higher levels (superorder and subclass) are based on Chase & Reveal (2009). Chase & Reveal (2009) treat Angiosperms and mosses as subclasses of class Equisetopsida (land plants), but brylogists have traditionally used much more inflated levels which are adjusted here to match Angiosperm classification.
