I still receive low ESS numbers when running my analysis with the RB model at 150,000,000 generations. I am trying it at 500,000,000 generations now, but I want to try to use a starting tree (fr/ MrBayes) to run my Beast analysis faster.
I replaced the RandomTree state-node initialiser with the following:
<init spec="beast.util.TreeParser" id="NewickTree.t:musteloidtree"
initial="@Tree.t:tree" taxa="@ADORA3" IsLabelledNewick="true"
newick="(Ursus_arctos:1,Phoca_vitulina:1,(((((((((((((((Aonyx_capensis:0.09254622127, AND REST OF TREE)
/>
java.lang.Exception: Could not find a proper state to initialise. Perhaps try another seed.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
I appreciate your help.
