Dear List, taking advantage of the discussion, I'd like to ask if I could do these test of rate heterogeneity in brownie.lite or auteur with a polytomous tree. Apparantly, auteur only accepts a fully dichotomous tree. Is there any alternative? Thank you in advance, Diogo -- Atenciosamente,

Hi Jason. Matt is absolutely correct. You can do this with phytools. Say, for instance, you have an ultrametric phylogeny with branches in millions of years (tree) and data vector containing the trait values for species (x) and you want to test the hypothesis that the last 3.4 my has a
