The parameters are read from a .tsv file that it can be modified with any text editor. Some of the parameters accept variable values. Those parameters can be easily seen in the parameters file because they have values composed of a letter and some numbers. For instance:
SPECIATION f:4
EXTINCTION n:2,0.5
The letter before the colon indicates the type of distribution (f fixed, u uniform, n normal, l lognormal)
If you launch Zombi in the T mode with those parameters, the speciation rate will be 4, and the extinction rate will be sampled once at the beginning from a normal distribution of mean 2 and standard deviation 0.5. Watch out! If the sampled value is negative, the returned value will be the absolute value
