A matroid associated with a phylogenetic tree [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 Special issue PRIMA 2013 A (pseudo-)metric D on a finite set X is said to be a \textquotelefttree metric\textquoteright if there is a finite tree with leaf set X and non-negative edge weights so that, for all x,y ∈X, D(x,y) is the path distance in the tree between x and y. It is well known that not every metric is a tree metric. However, when

A metric on phylogenetic tree shapes [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2016 AbstractThe 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 comparisons.

Characterization of a Branch of the Phylogenetic Tree [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2005 We use a combination of analytic models and computer simulations to gain insight into the dynamics of evolution. Our results suggest that certain interesting phenomena should eventually emerge from the fossil record. For example, there should be a ``tortoise and hare effect'': Those genera with the smallest species death rate are likely to survive much

Rearrangement operations on unrooted phylogenetic networks
Theory and Applications of Graphs, 2019 Rearrangement operations transform a phylogenetic tree into another one and hence induce a metric on the space of phylogenetic trees. Popular operations for unrooted phylogenetic trees are NNI (nearest neighbour interchange), SPR (subtree prune and ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 We determined a complete mitochondrial genome of Episoriculus leucops. This mitogenome is a circular molecule with 16,838 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA).

A new resolution function to evaluate tree shape statistics.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Phylogenetic trees are frequently used in biology to study the relationships between a number of species or organisms. The shape of a phylogenetic tree contains useful information about patterns of speciation and extinction, so powerful tools are needed ...

Understanding the tree of life: an overview of tree-reading skill frameworks
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2019 Diagrammatic depictions of evolutionary relationships play an increasingly important role in scientific and educational literature. Reading evolutionary trees is seen as a major challenge for biologists in learning about evolution and its applications in

Conflicting phylogenetic signals in plastomes of the tribe Laureae (Lauraceae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Gene tree discordance is common in phylogenetic analyses. Many phylogenetic studies have excluded non-coding regions of the plastome without evaluating their impact on tree topology. In general, plastid loci have often been treated as a single

The Fair Proportion is a Shapley Value on phylogenetic networks too
, 2018 The Fair Proportion of a species in a phylogenetic tree is a very simple measure that has been used to assess its value relative to the overall phylogenetic diversity represented by the tree.
