The goal of DAISIEmainland is to simulate data to test whether the DAISIE model (Dynamic Assembly of Island biota through Speciation Immigration and Extinction) initially developed in Valente et al. (2015) and used in Valente et al. (2017a, 2017b, 2019, 2020) and Hauffe et al. (2020) can reliably estimate macroevolutionary parameters (cladogenesis, extinction, carrying capacity, immigration and anagenesis) when the assumption of a static mainland pool of species is violated, as is the case in nature.
