Exploring the power of Bayesian birth‐death skyline models to detect mass extinction events from phylogenies with only extant taxa
(2019)EvolutionMass extinction events (MEEs), defined as significant losses of species diversity in significantly short time periods, have attracted the attention of biologists because of their link to major environmental change. MEEs have traditionally been studied through the fossil record, but the development of birth‐death models has made it possible to detect their signature based on extant‐taxa phylogenies. Most birth‐death models consider MEEs ...Journal Article
