Title

Speciation completion rates have limited impact on macroevolutionary diversification

Preprint: Veron, P., Andréoletti, J., Giraud, T. & Morlon, H. (2024). BioRxiv. DOI: 10.1101/2024.07.01.601000

Overview

Calculation of equivalent birth and death rates under the protracted birth death models.

Simulations and statistics of phylogenies under the protracted birth-death (PBD) and BD models following the works from

Etienne, R. S., & Rosindell, J. (2012). Prolonging the Past Counteracts the Pull of the Present: Protracted Speciation Can Explain Observed Slowdowns in Diversification. Systematic Biology, 61, 204. DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syr091

Etienne, R. S., Morlon, H., & Lambert, A. (2014). Estimating the duration of speciation from phylogenies. Evolution, 68, 2430–2440. DOI: 10.1111/evo.12433

Test of the analog expressions of birth and death rates from the PBD model.

Project architecture

• 1-rates_analysis: calculate equivalent birth and death rates of the PBD model and analyse these rates.
• 2-simulate_trees: simulate trees under
  • the PBD model
  • the BD model with constant rates with equivalent constant rates to the PBD models
  • the BD model with time-dependent rates with equivalent rates to the PBD model
• 3-compare_PBD_BD_varBD : compare the trees obtained with the 3 models.
• 4-fit_BD_truncated_PBD_trees : fits a BD model to truncated phylogenies based on trees simulated with the PBD model.
• fig : figures generated by the scripts
• illustrations : hand-made figures for the publication
• modules: global functions used in the pipeline
• simulations_output : raw of the simulations.

Figures

The file customstyle.mplstyle defines a global style for the Matplotlib figures.

# Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use("customstyle.mplstyle")
