AbstractSpecies diversification is characterized by speciation and extinction, the rates of which can, under some assumptions, be estimated from time-calibrated phylogenies. However, maximum likelihood estimation methods (MLE) for inferring rates are limited to simpler models and can show bias, particularly in small phylogenies.
