Moves used during Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analyses

Function in RevBayes Description Parameter to change Weight
mvNNI Nearest-neighbor interchange move Ψ num. of taxa (e.g. 16, 64)
mvSPR Subtree prune-and-regraft move Ψ num. of taxa x 0.1 (e.g. 1.6, 6.4)
mvBranchLengthScale Scaling move on the branch lengths bl num. of taxa (e.g. 16, 64)
mvBetaSimplex Scaling move on nucleotide frequencies π 2.0
mvDirichletSimplex Scaling move on nucleotide frequencies π 1.0
mvBetaSimplex Scaling move on exchangeabilities er 3.0
mvDirichletSimplex Scaling move on exchangeabilities er 1.5
mvScale Scaling move on shape parameter α 2.0
mvBetaProbability Scaling move on proportion of invariable sites I 2.0

JC analyses used only the first three moves
