Hello colleagues,

I am calculating ace character mappings and model fit in a tree, and noticed that rescaling the tree with root age in the range 0.5 - 120 produces identical results, but suddenly, for the root deeper than 130 or 140, all is wrong (e.g., all internal nodes have state probs 0.5/0.5 under ER).

I managed to reproduce this in some tutorial examples in phytools (e.g., http://www.phytools.org/Cordoba2017/ex/8/Anc-states-discrete.html), simply by inserting a rescale line:

...

require(geiger)

...

eel.tree<-read.tree("elopomorph.tre")
eel.tree <- rescale(eel.tree, "depth", 130)


What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Martin
