Basically, here is some easy code to search publicly available databases to determine a trait value for a species (in this case whether or not the species was recorded as invasive in any of 5 global invasive species databases), then make a quick tree based on published phylogenies using Phylomatic (http://phylodiversity.net/phylomatic/), then color code the tree based on the trait value.
Subset of species from Asteraceae and whether they have been reported as invasive (‘weedy’) in any of 5 global invasive species databases.
