Probably a very easy question, but I could’t find a straightforward answer for it… I have a posterior distribution of trees all rooted with a not-so-closely-related outgroup. I’d like to perform some diversification analyses (LTT, etc.) just for the ingroup, obviating the outgroup. Is there an easy way to extract the ingroup (or remove the outgroup) from all the trees before performing the analyses? I have tried to do it ‘manually’, deleting the outgroup taxa in Mesquite, but it looks to me that the LTT plots are still considering some branch lengths from the ingroup to the outgroup clade (kind of considering a stem-origin, not a crown-origin for the ingroup clade…).
