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…

On Agreement Subtrees in Multiple Phylogenetic Trees

Bryan Currie, Éva Czabarka, Mareike Fischer +3

Snir and Yuster [Discrete Appl. Math. 347 (2026) 160--171] asked for the least number such that unrooted binary phylogenetic trees on the same leaves always share…

Tree balance in phylogenetic models

Sophie J. Kersting, Kristina Wicke, Mareike Fischer

Tree shape statistics, particularly measures of tree (im)balance, play an important role in the analysis of the shape of phylogenetic trees. With applications ranging from testing…

Measuring 3D tree imbalance of plant models using graph-theoretical approaches

Sophie J. Kersting, A. Luise Kühn, Mareike Fischer

Imbalance in the 3D structure of plants can be an important indicator of insufficient light or nutrient supply, as well as excessive wind, (formerly present) physical barriers, nei…

The weighted total cophenetic index: A novel balance index for phylogenetic networks

Linda Knüver, Mareike Fischer, Marc Hellmuth +1

Phylogenetic networks play an important role in evolutionary biology as, other than phylogenetic trees, they can be used to accommodate reticulate evolutionary events such as horiz…

Defining binary phylogenetic trees using parsimony: new bounds

Mirko Wilde, Mareike Fischer

Phylogenetic trees are frequently used to model evolution. Such trees are typically reconstructed from data like DNA, RNA, or protein alignments using methods based on criteria lik…
