Inferring ancestral states without assuming neutrality or gradualism using a stable model of continuous character evolution
Michael G. Elliot, Arne O. Mooers
The value of a continuous character evolving on a phylogenetic tree is commonly modelled as the location of a particle moving under one-dimensional Brownian motion with constant ra…
Branch lengths on Yule trees and the expected loss of phylogenetic diversity
Arne Mooers, Olivier Gascuel, Tanja Stadler +2
Diversification is nested, and early models suggested this could lead to a great deal of evolutionary redundancy in the Tree of Life. This result is based on a particular set of br…
Expected length of pendant and interior edges of a Yule tree
Mike Steel, Arne Mooers
The Yule (pure-birth) model is the simplest null model of speciation; each lineage gives rise to a new lineage independently with the same rate . We investigate the expected len…
Hedging our bets: the expected contribution of species to future phylogenetic diversity
Mike Steel, Aki Mimoto, Arne O. Mooers
If predictions for species extinctions hold, then the `tree of life' today may be quite different to that in (say) 100 years. We describe a technique to quantify how much each spec…
