Hi there,
My one-euro contribution.
Another approach can be the following one:
-you rescale the branch lenghts of your tree while keeping its topology
constant based on the pairwise (triangular) matrix of range size
differences (or range overlaps, whatever metric you choose). This tree
rescaling
Hi All,
I have simpler, probably worse, and possibly useless suggestion. You could
borrow from the rates of molecular evolution literature to do this. We
often want to answer exactly these kinds of question, where the dependent
variable is the rate of evolution, rather than range size. So,
I did a little further exploration of this proposed method - the
results discussion are here:

Maybe this will be of some help in deciding the best approach to go
forward with.
All the best, Liam
