Silverman's dynamical Lang conjecture for canonical heights

Let d2d\geq 2, let f:P1P1f:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1 be a degree-dd dynamical system, let hMh_{\mathcal{M}} be a height on the moduli space Md\mathcal{M}_d of degree-dd dynamical systems, and let QQ be a wandering point of ff. Silverman's dynamical Lang conjecture. There is a constant M(d)>0M(d)>0 depending only on dd such that

h^f(Q)M(d)hM(f).\hat h_f(Q)\geq M(d)h_{\mathcal{M}}(f).

The conjecture seeks a uniform lower bound for the canonical height of wandering points in terms of the moduli height of the dynamical system, preventing small canonical heights from arising merely through conjugation. Its resolution status is not specified in the source.
