Properties of biodiversity indices that incorporate future extinction risk
Mike Steel, Kristina Wicke, Arne Mooers
The loss of biodiversity due to the likely widespread extinction of species in the near future is a focus of current concern in conservation biology. One approach to measure the im…
An evolutionary process without variation and selection
Liane Gabora, Mike Steel
Natural selection successfully explains how organisms accumulate adaptive change despite that traits acquired over a lifetime are eliminated at the end of each generation. However,…
Phylogenetic network classes through the lens of expanding covers
Andrew Francis, Daniele Marchei, Mike Steel
It was recently shown that a large class of phylogenetic networks, the `labellable' networks, is in bijection with the set of `expanding' covers of finite sets. In this paper, we s…
Counting and optimising maximum phylogenetic diversity sets
Kerry Manson, Charles Semple, Mike Steel
In conservation biology, phylogenetic diversity (PD) provides a way to quantify the impact of the current rapid extinction of species on the evolutionary `Tree of Life'. This appro…
Combinatorics of polymer models of early metabolism
Oliver Weller-Davies, Mike Steel, Jotun Hein
Polymer models are a widely used tool to study the prebiotic formation of metabolism at the origins of life. Counts of the number of reactions in these models are often crucial in…
Defining phylogenetic networks using ancestral profiles
Allan Bai, Peter Erdos, Charles Semple +1
Rooted phylogenetic networks provide a more complete representation of the ancestral relationship between species than phylogenetic trees when reticulate evolutionary processes are…
