On the mapping between evolutionary scenarios and governing rules in state-dependent speciation-extinction models
Biologists often wish to explain why one trait is more common than its alternatives among species in a clade: is it due to asymmetries in diversification or character evolution processes? State-dependent speciation-extinction (SSE) models provide a flexible framework for jointly modeling such processes. Here, we derive mathematical results that define functional relationships (``rulesets") among…
