Insights into the influence of priors in posterior mapping of discrete morphological characters: a case study in Annonaceae.

Insights into the influence of priors in posterior mapping of discrete morphological characters: a case study in Annonaceae.

Posterior mapping is an increasingly popular hierarchical Bayesian based method used to infer character histories and reconstruct ancestral states at nodes of molecular phylogenies, notably of morphological characters. As for all Bayesian analyses specification of prior values is an integrative and...
