An object of class 'phylo' from the ape package. It is
posterior sample member 69 from the Hackett-backbone half of BirdTree's
100-tree bird collection, pruned to the species present in
avonet_full rather than the 300-species example subset.
The MIT software licence for megatrees does not establish rights for
the underlying BirdTree data; see the installed NOTICE. This object
is included for examples, not as an MCC or consensus tree or a recommended
tree for substantive analysis.

Li (2026), megatrees 1.0.0; member 69 of
megatrees::get_tree_bird_n100() is from the Hackett-backbone set.
The BirdTree distribution is described by Jetz et al. (2012).
Details
Row order in avonet_full matches tip order in tree_full:
all(avonet_full$Species_Key == tree_full$tip.label) returns
TRUE.
