When @omearabrian.bsky.social saw the manuscript, he described it as: ‘What if this figure could be an entire paper?’ I choose to interpret that as high praise. Now accepted at AmNat: The geometry of macroevolution (with Dan Rabosky). www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I wrote this about finding the optimal discrete character model structure. I hope this will be useful for empiricists. The main point is that relying only on the package default models is bad and can have nasty consequences or parameter estimates and ASR. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
