Hello,

I know that MCMCglmm - when using pedigree/phylogeny data - generates dummy
entries for all phantom nodes in the tree that were introduced in the
process of creating the pedigree. I'm currently working on a series of
phylo-corrected models and have a problem: although my data does provide
data for all tips of the tree I use - and both the data and tree have the
same sets of species (anyway, otherwise it would generate another error) -
but still I'm getting the warning  message that 1 additional record was
generated. This prevents me from fitting residual structures of the kind
rcov=~idh(fixed_eff):units since then it claims that the R-structure does
not define unique residual for each data point.

Does anyone has ideas how could I add this missing record to my data (i.e.
what this stands for?)

Cheers
szymek
