@CorneliusRoemer @RussCorbett @emblebi @ewanbirney @NatureGenet @EBIgoldman @embl @bq_minh @yatishturakhia @prabhavk I think it's hard to perform deep SPR moves and at the same time be of general applicability. MAPLE and UShER only work at short divergence; RAxML is of general applicability like IQtree but takes longer than IQtree due to SPR moves (at least that's my understanding).

@CorneliusRoemer @emblebi @ewanbirney @NatureGenet @EBIgoldman @embl @RussCorbett @bq_minh @yatishturakhia @prabhavk Please do add an issue. In the meantime, to increase accuracy, I would recommend considering using in newer versions of MAPLE options "--model UNREST" and "----rateVariation", which will make MAPLE use an UNREST substitution model with rate variation.

@RobLanfear Oh, and for things like phylogeography/discrete trait analysis/ancestral state reconstruction one would put lots of statistics regarding the trait of interest, like the most probable a posteriori trait value, the posterior distribution of traits, etc
