Hey Andy,
Simulating the bifurcation times in a tree with n extant species and age t
(where t is either mrca or the origin of the first species), assuming constant
speciation and extinction rates (and possibly a sampling probability rho), can
be done within the R package TreeSim using the
Hi Emmanuel,
Many thanks for your suggestions. I think a group of us at Berkeley would
be very interested in working out different ways to simulate these processes
and then share our results. We'll keep you posted. I think starting with
rcoal and compute.brlen would be a great jumping off

Hello,
I'm working with a friend on a problem where we'd like to simulate
many possible trees that all have the same topology, but differ in branch
lengths (or equivalently in node ages). We have a known age for the root,
and all tips correspond
