Reconstructing relationships among extant birds (Neornithes) has been one of the most
difficult problems in phylogenetics, and, despite intensive effort, the avian tree of life remains …

Accurate phylogenetic reconstruction methods are inherently computationally heavy and
therefore are limited to relatively small numbers of taxa. Supertree construction is the task of …

Accurate phylogenetic reconstruction methods are currently limited to a maximum of few
dozens of taxa. Supertree methods construct a large tree over a large set of taxa, from a set …

This up-to-date account of algebraic statistics and information geometry explores the
emerging connections between the two disciplines, demonstrating how they can be used in …

Recently there have been several attempts to provide a whole set of generators of the ideal
of the algebraic variety associated to a phylogenetic tree evolving under an algebraic model …

Detecting variation in the evolutionary process along chromosomes is increasingly important
as whole-genome data become more widely available. For example, factors such as …

One reason why classical phylogenetic reconstruction methods fail to correctly infer the
underlying topology is because they assume oversimplified models. In this article, we …

The Kimura 3-parameter model on a tree of n leaves is one of the most used in
phylogenetics. The affine algebraic variety W associated to it is a toric variety. We study its …

Phylogenetic networks provide a means of describing the evolutionary history of sets of
species believed to have undergone hybridization or gene flow during their evolution. The …

Topological phylogenetic trees can be assigned edge weights in several natural ways,
highlighting different aspects of the tree. Here, the rooted triple and quartet metrizations are …
