Continuous traits and speciation rates: Alternatives to state‐dependent diversification models
Abstract
Many quantitative traits, for example body size, have been hypothesized to influence the diversification dynamics of lineages over macroevolutionary time‐scales. The Quantitative State Speciation‐Extinction (QuaSSE) model and related methods provide an elegant framework for jointly modelling the relationship between change in continuous traits and diversification. However, model misspecification and phylogenetic pseudoreplication can result in...
