Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures (BAMM) has recently taken the study of
lineage diversification by storm. BAMM estimates the diversification-rate parameters …

Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures (BAMM) is a statistical framework that uses
reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to infer complex macroevolutionary dynamics of …

Estimates of diversification rates are invaluable for many macroevolutionary studies.
Recently, an approach called BAMM (Bayesian Analysis of Macro-evolutionary Mixtures) …

Maximum likelihood is a potentially powerful approach for investigating the tempo of
diversification using molecular phylogenetic data. Likelihood methods distinguish between …

The paleontological record chronicles numerous episodes of mass extinction that severely
culled the Tree of Life. Biologists have long sought to assess the extent to which these …

Understanding the dynamics of speciation, extinction and phenotypic evolution is a central
challenge in evolutionary biology. Here, we present BAMM tools, an r package for the …

Prolific cladogenesis, adaptive radiation, species selection, key innovations, and mass
extinctions are a few examples of biological phenomena that lead to differential …

Species‐specific diversification rates, or 'tip rates', can be computed quickly from
phylogenies and are widely used to study diversification rate variation in relation to …

Studies of diversification patterns often find a slowing in lineage accumulation toward the
present. This seemingly pervasive pattern of rate downturns has been taken as evidence for …

Estimating time-dependent rates of speciation and extinction from dated phylogenetic trees
of extant species (timetrees), and determining how and why they vary, is key to …
