[R-sig-phylo] diversification rates

Dear all,

I am trying to compute the diversification rates as Jetz et al. 2012 (
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11631), where the authors have said
that the formula is the inverse of the equal splits distinctiveness value
of Redding and Moors 2006 (
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1523-1739.2006.00555.x).
But, in another paper, Pyron & Jetz 2018 (
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-018-0515-5) said “is closely
inversely related to the equal splits metric”. Looking in both formulas
they seem to be the “same” but only the inverse of equal splits, as Jetz et
al. said in 2012.

I would like to know if some of you have already calculated this
diversification rate and if it is in fact just the inverse, or it is a kind
of "closely" related formula. I wrote a small example of what I’ve done,
and would like to ask if you think that this is the right way to do that.


library(phytools)

tr <- rtree(20)

plot(tr)

tr <- compute.brlen(tr)

plot(tr)

tr$edge.length

tr$edge

plot(tr, show.tip.label = TRUE, show.node.label = TRUE)



ES = evol.distinct(tr, type = "equal.splits")$w

DR = evol.distinct(tr, type = "equal.splits")$w^-1


Thank you in advance,

Hi Lilian,

My understanding is that Jetz and Pyron 2018 use the fair proportion metric
('evolutionary distinctness'), which they they assert is closely inversely
related to the equal splits metric (but not calculated in that way).
Jetz et al 2012 use the species-level lineage diversification rate, which
is actually calculated by taking the inverse of the equal splits metric.

Hope that clears things up,
Will

Yeah Lilian, Will is right— “ED” or “fair proportion" in the 2018 paper is ~= “ES” as given in Redding and Mooers 2006.

1/ES = DR is where the confusion comes from.

DR has been called the “inverse equal splits metric”, so I think that was just an editing error for them to write: "This measure of ED is closely inversely related to the equal splits metric used to characterize tip-level diversification rates” — instead it should read “...closely related to the inverse equal splits metric used to characterize tip-level diversification rates”.

But yes, your way of calculating DR and ES using the picante function evol.distinct() appears legit. DR will be your tip-level diversification rates.

All the best

Hi Willian and Nathan,

Thanks a lot for your clarification! It is exactly what I was thinking
about!
