Usage

• BAMM is oriented entirely towards detecting and quantifying heterogeneity in evolutionary rates. It uses reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to automatically explore a vast universe of candidate models of lineage diversification and trait evolution.

• BAMM and associated methods have been described and extended in several publications (PLoS ONE 2014 , Nature Communications 2013 , Systematic Biology 2014, and Evolution 2015).

• BAMM is a command line program written in C++.

• Post-run analysis and visualization is performed using the R package BAMMtools.
