Being able to simulate phylogenetic trees and population dynamics under these models is the basis for (i) developing and testing of phylodynamic inference algorithms, (ii) performing simulation studies which quantify the biases stemming from model-misspecification, and (iii) performing so-called model adequacy assessments by simulating samples from the posterior predictive distribution. Here I introduce ReMASTER, a package for the phylogenetic inference platform BEAST 2 that provides a simple and efficient approach to specifying and simulating the phylogenetic trees and population dynamics arising from phylodynamic models. Being a component of BEAST 2 allows ReMASTER to also form the basis of joint simulation and inference analyses. ReMASTER is a complete rewrite of an earlier package, MASTER, and boasts improved efficiency, ease of use, flexibility of model specification, and deeper integration with BEAST 2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and Implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ReMASTER can be installed directly from the BEAST 2 package manager, and its documentation is available online at https:\/\/tgvaughan.github.io\/remaster.
