"Node-ages" vs "Height"
Boxfish
So I'm a little confused as to the distinction between these,
intuitively I feel that on a ultrametric tree that the node-age should
equal the node-height and this is what I have previously observed when
using older versions of BEAST. However, I have just re-run an older
analysis with slightly revised calibration points, but otherwise an
identical XML file using v.1-5-1 and now both "Node-ages" and "Height"
are different to one another. Is this an error with this version of
BEAST or have I misunderstood a subtle distinction between the two?
Cheers

What did you choose in "TreeAnnotator v1.5.3.exe"?
For example, if you chose the "keep target height", the "Node-ages"
represent the last value (65.53962973636061) in the tree file.

If you choose "mean height", the node age will be the same with
"height"
