The tree balance signature of mass extinction is erased by continued evolution in clades of constrained size with trait-dependent speciation.
The kind and duration of phylogenetic topological "signatures" left in the wake of macroevolutionary events remain poorly understood. To this end, we examined a broad range of simulated phylogenies generated using trait-biased, heritable speciation probabilities and mass extinction that co...
