Full package name: mesquite.treefarm.NoiseToBranchLengths.NoiseToBranchLengths Duty: Random Tree Modifier (mesquite.treefarm.lib.RndTreeModifier)
Module Explanation
Adds noise to branch lengths of tree. Noise is Normally distributed, with variance as selected. By default the variance is be proportional to current branch length, so that if branch length is 10 and you've indicated a variance multiplier of 0.1, the noise added will have a variance of 1.0. Negative branch lengths are not allowed, and are changed to zero.
