I have a maximum clade credibility tree drawn and I am trying to get the age range at each node but I don't seem to get it right. How do I get that? I have the node bars displayed but I need the range displayed in years at the node as well. Or how do I interpret [10, 24.58] displayed at the node of my tMRCA?
To expand a little bit on what Thomas said:
1. Check the box for "Node Labels" to display values at the nodes
2. At the drop-down menu for "Display:" choose "height_95%_HPD"
The numbers given here will be the upper and lower values within the 95% highest probability density recovered from your (assuming) BEAST run. So, [10, 24.58] means that the 95% HPD for that node is between an age of 10 (assuming millions of years, but depends on what you put in here) and 24.58 (Mya). This range is exactly what is shown by the bars that are given when you select "Node bars" and choose Display -> "height_95%_HPD".
Generally, I think the node label output from FigTree can be a little messy when you are dealing with ranges - you might want to go and edit these in Illustrator.
Hi Chantal,
Displaying "height_95%_HPD" instead of "Node ages" will give you the 95%HPD age for each node.
Cheers,
Thomas

Dear Chantal, Weston and Thomas,
Taking the opportunity... Is there another good option for editing other than Ilustrator?
Anything freely available from the internet?
Thanks!
Valéria
Hi Valeria,
I'm sorry i don't know of any yet. Weston and Thomas, do you have any ideas?
