Your tree branches are extremely short. CAFE generally expects a tree branch length of 1 to be 1 million years, so there isn't much room for evolution there. You might experiment with multiplying them by 10 or even 100 - if that gives you a working lambda you can divide it back by the multiplier, but you should consult with your PI or another expert - not me - to consider whether the result makes sense biologically. |
