We developed a new probabilistic framework to jointly estimate species-specific times of speciation and extinction and the rates of the underlying birth-death process based on the fossil record. The rates are allowed to vary through time independently of each other, and the probability of preservation and sampling is explicitly incorporated in the model to estimate the true lifespan of each lineage. We further implement a Bayesian algorithm to assess the presence of rate shifts by exploring alternative diversification models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bolt-field=\"body\">\n<p>The program can be downloaded using the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/pyrate\/\">sourceforge repository<\/a>\u00a0for the program.<\/p>\n<h4>Reference<\/h4>\n<p><em>Silvestro D., Schnitzler J., Liow L.H., Antonelli A., Salamin N. 2014.
