The reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from discrete character data typically relies on models that assume the characters evolve under a continuous-time Markov process operating at some overall rate λ. When λ is too high or too low, it becomes difficult to distinguish a short interior edge from a polytomy (the tree that results from collapsing the edge). In this note, we investigate the rate...
