Constructing Evolutionary Supernetworks from Binets

Constructing the evolutionary history of species is a task with a lot of mathematics involved. Given a collection of small pieces of history we try to construct the bigger picture. The evolutionary history of species can be represented in a phylogenetic tree. For a given set of smaller phylogenetic trees a bigger supertree can be constructed....

Characterising tree-based phylogenetic networks

Commonly, the evolutionary history of a set of taxa is described by a phylogenetic tree. However, in certain cases, evolution can best be described by a phylogenetic network. In previous research, the term tree-based was introduced for a phylogenetic network, meaning that it can be drawn as a phylogenetic tree with additional horizontal arcs. In...
