Rich FitzJohn has programmed something of what Will suggested in diversitree: look at details in ?make.musse.multitrait. I'm not sure if there was ever a paper published on this. We do a similar thing to Will's idea in http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/283/1830/20152304 (with the

Hello, Personally, I would advise you not to use a tree, for your 2 traits times 2 (+/-) makes 4 combinations, meaning a tree that is dichotomic cannot reveal anything! Can you quantify your "diversification" without "rate"? How do you obtain your "diversification rates"? If it is something

I'm not sure of any particular methods that do this, but one preliminary approach that you could try is combining the two traits into a single trait (00, 01, 10, and 11) which you could then analyze with any of the standard methods. You could then look for whether any of the states have higher or
