Abstract
The binary-state speciation and extinction (BiSSE) model has been used in many instances to identify state-dependent diversification and reconstruct ancestral states. However, recent studies have shown that the standard procedure of comparing the fit of the BiSSE model to constant-rate birth-death models often inappropriately favors the BiSSE model when diversification rates vary in a state-independent fashion. The newly-developed HiSSE model...
