Hi Russell and all:
I’ll respond here since the answer is related to the intended purpose of the
VertLife mammal trees — i.e, capturing full uncertainty in node ages and
phylogenetic relationships was one of the motivators for building the mammal
trees in the way we did. This approach
Hi Russell:
Glad to hear you’re using the VertLife mammal trees — they are built on a
taxonomy of 5,911 species of which only 4,098 are sampled for DNA, so there is
already a ~30% chunk that is placed using taxonomic constraints and birth-death
branch lengths as sampled during the estimation
