Additional resources

Resources will be added here before and during workshop!

Papers

• Exploring the fit of phylogenetic models to morphological data (model adequacy), see Mulvey et al. (2024)
• Estimating trees or rates, when origination, extinction and sampling vary through time (birth-death skyline models), see Allen et al. (2024) or Allen et al. (2025)
• Dating super trees using the fossilised birth-death process, see Godoy et al. (2019), see also Bapst (2016)
• Practical guidelines for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Barido-Sottani et al. (2024)

Software tutorials

An extended version of the FBD tutorial for total-evidence anylsis can be found on the Taming the Beast site and the RevBayes tutorial page.

Simulations

You can also use simulations to explore assumptions of the FBD process (and related birth-process models) using the FossilSim R package application FossilSimShiny. Associated exercise available here.
