Impacts of terraces on phylogenetic inference
Michael J Sanderson, Michelle M. McMahon, Alexandros Stamatakis +2
Terraces are potentially large sets of trees with precisely the same likelihood or parsimony score, which can be induced by missing sequences in partitioned multi-locus phylogeneti…

Identifying a species tree subject to random lateral gene transfer
Mike Steel, Simone Linz, Daniel H. Huson +1
A major problem for inferring species trees from gene trees is that evolutionary processes can sometimes favour gene tree topologies that conflict with an underlying species tree.…

Characterizing phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
Mike Steel, Michael J. Sanderson
Increasingly, biologists are constructing evolutionary trees on large numbers of overlapping sets of taxa, and then combining them into a `supertree' that classifies all the taxa.…
