I've tried several programs (e.g. TreeView, FigTree, MEGA, Archaeopteryx, Mesquite) but they just display node numbers and branch lengths. I'm using the software SYMMETREE to infer diversification rate shifts on particular nodes within a tree. Results refer to "branch numbers" which, according to the manual, can be displayed using MacClade. However, I´m not using a Mac OS platform.
Hi Gerardo,
You should try Mesquite (from the same MacClade´s creators; It runs on JAVA - WIN, LINUX, etc). Try to import your tree and visualize it in "text" mode. It will show you node (and terminals) numbers.

Good luck,

You could try using R language. After you installed and loaded the ape" package you could read your nexus file first, then plot and ask for the node labels
plot(tree)
nodelabels()

Many thanks for your suggestions! It seems that R is a good option.
