what does the “#0.1” in example trees mean？

[Dawei-Xia]

Hi，professor liu：
The function “sim.coaltree.sp.mu” generates a random gene tree from the species tree under the non-clock species tree model.
I'm confused “#0.1” in the example tree “ (((A:0.5,B:0.5):1#0.1,C:1.5):1#0.1,D:2.5)#0.1;）”，and when I get a certain theta value (μT/τ ), how to set it in the species tree used for simulation analysis.

Thanks for all your help!
Best wishes
