A dichotomy law for certain classes of phylogenetic networks

Michael Fuchs, Mike Steel

Many classes of phylogenetic networks have been proposed in the literature. A feature of several of these classes is that if one restricts a network in the class to a subset of its…

Counting rankings of tree-child networks

Qiang Zhang, Mike Steel

Rooted phylogenetic networks allow biologists to represent evolutionary relationships between present-day species by revealing ancestral speciation and hybridization events. A conv…

Predicting the depth of the most recent common ancestor of a random sample of species: the impact of phylogenetic tree shape

Michael Fuchs, Mike Steel

We consider the following question: how close to the ancestral root of a phylogenetic tree is the most recent common ancestor of species randomly sampled from the tips of the t…

The asymptotic distribution of the -Robinson-Foulds dissimilarity measure on labelled trees

Michael Fuchs, Mike Steel

Motivated by applications in medical bioinformatics, Khayatian et al. (2024) introduced a family of metrics on Cayley trees (the -RF distance, for ) and explor…

Asymptotic enumeration of normal and hybridization networks via tree decoration

Michael Fuchs, Mike Steel, Qiang Zhang

Phylogenetic networks provide a more general description of evolutionary relationships than rooted phylogenetic trees. One way to produce a phylogenetic network is to randomly plac…

Transformations to simplify phylogenetic networks

Johanna Heiss, Daniel H. Huson, Mike Steel

The evolutionary relationships between species are typically represented in the biological literature by rooted phylogenetic trees. However, a tree fails to capture ancestral retic…

Tree-based networks: characterisations, metrics, and support trees

Joan Carles Pons, Charles Semple, Mike Steel

Phylogenetic networks generalise phylogenetic trees and allow for the accurate representation of the evolutionary history of a set of present-day species whose past includes reticu…

Estimating the relative order of speciation or coalescence events on a given phylogeny

Tanja Gernhard, Daniel Ford, Rutger Vos +1

The reconstruction of large phylogenetic trees from data that violates clocklike evolution (or as a supertree constructed from any m input trees) raises a difficult question for bi…
