A metric on phylogenetic tree shapes [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2016 Abstract The shapes of evolutionary trees are influenced by the nature of the evolutionary process, but comparisons of trees from different processes are hindered by the challenge of completely describing tree shape. We present a full characterization of the shapes of rooted branching trees in a form that lends itself to natural tree ...

A synthesis tree of the Copepoda: integrating phylogenetic and taxonomic data reveals multiple origins of parasitism [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The Copepoda is a clade of pancrustaceans containing 14,485 species that are extremely varied in their morphology and lifestyle. Not only do copepods dominate marine plankton and sediment communities and make up a sizeable component of the freshwater ...

Operads and phylogenetic trees
Theory and Applications of Categories, 2017 We construct an operad $\mathrm{Phyl}$ whose operations are the edge-labelled trees used in phylogenetics. This operad is the coproduct of $\mathrm{Com}$, the operad for commutative semigroups, and $[0,\infty)$, the operad with unary operations corresponding to nonnegative real numbers, where composition is addition.

Information geometry for phylogenetic trees [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2021 AbstractWe propose a new space of phylogenetic trees which we callwald space. The motivation is to develop a space suitable for statistical analysis of phylogenies, but with a geometry based on more biologically principled assumptions than existing spaces: in wald space, trees are close if they induce similar distributions on genetic sequence data.

On the number of vertices of each rank in phylogenetic trees and their generalizations [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 We find surprisingly simple formulas for the limiting probability that the rank of a randomly selected vertex in a randomly selected phylogenetic tree or generalized phylogenetic tree is a given integer.

A New Phylogenetic Inference Based on Genetic Attribute Reduction for Morphological Data
Entropy, 2019 To address the instability of phylogenetic trees in morphological datasets caused by missing values, we present a phylogenetic inference method based on a concept decision tree (CDT) in conjunction with attribute reduction.

Classes of tree-based networks
Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art, 2020 Recently, so-called tree-based phylogenetic networks have attracted considerable attention. These networks can be constructed from a phylogenetic tree, called the base tree, by adding additional edges.
