Enumerating monophyletic characters in mathematical phylogenetics

Mareike Fischer, Michael Hendriksen, Kristina Wicke

Grouping species according to their phylogenetic relationships often results in different groups than grouping them according to their shared traits. Monophyletic groups play an im…

A height-based metaconcept for rooted tree balance and its implications for the index

Mareike Fischer, Tom Niklas Hamann, Kristina Wicke

Tree balance has received considerable attention in recent years, both in phylogenetics and in other areas. Numerous (im)balance indices have been proposed to quantify the (im)bala…
