Bayesian estimation of speciation and extinction from incomplete fossil occurrence data
The temporal dynamics of species diversity are shaped by variations in the rates of
speciation and extinction, and there is a long history of inferring these rates using first and …

Revisiting the origin and diversification of vascular plants through a comprehensive Bayesian analysis of the fossil record
Plants have a long evolutionary history, during which mass extinction events dramatically
affected Earth's ecosystems and its biodiversity. The fossil record can shed light on the …

PyRate: a new program to estimate speciation and extinction rates from incomplete fossil data
Despite the advancement of phylogenetic methods to estimate speciation and extinction
rates, their power can be limited under variable rates, in particular for clades with high …
