Description: The aim of this project is to estimate speciation and extinction rates using a maximum likelihood method on a birth and death model. In particular, the students will investigate whether a binary parameter like the type of pollinisator can influence the speciation and extinction rate.

Supervisor: Micha Hersch and Nicolas Salamin

Students: Herve Cachin and Trestan Pillonel
