The ClaDS rate-heterogeneous birth-death prior for full phylogenetic inference in BEAST2.

ABSTRACT: Bayesian phylogenetic inference requires a tree prior, which models the underlying diversification process that gives rise to the phylogeny. Existing birth-death diversification models include a wide range of features, for instance, lineage-specific variations in speciation and extinction (SSE) rates. While across-lineage variation in SSE rates is widespread in empirical datasets, few heterogeneous rate models have been implemented as tree priors for Bayesian phylogenetic inference. As a consequence, rate heterogeneity is typically ignored when reconstructing phylogenies, and rate heterogeneity is usually investigated on fixed trees. In this paper, we present a new BEAST2 package implementing the cladogenetic diversification rate shift (ClaDS) model as a tree prior. ClaDS is a birth-death
