A Fast and Scalable Method for Inferring Phylogenetic Networks from Trees by Aligning Lineage Taxon Strings [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The reconstruction of phylogenetic networks is an important but challenging problem in phylogenetics and genome evolution, as the space of phylogenetic networks is vast and cannot be sampled well. One approach to the problem is to solve the minimum phylogenetic network problem, in which phylogenetic trees are first inferred, then the smallest ...

Biodiversity arks in the Anthropocene
Regional Sustainability, 2021 The Anthropocene proposal suggested that the Earth may have entered a new geological epoch, in which human activity and climate change are influencing the environment at global scale.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Leptonetidae are tiny, rarely encountered spiders that mainly inhabit moist environments, such as caves, leaf litter, and rock piles. Because they are microhabitat specialists, most leptonetid species have short-range endemism, and rarely occur in ...

Rank conditions on phylogenetic networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Less rigid than phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic networks allow the description of a wider range of evolutionary events. In this note, we explain how to extend the rank invariants from phylogenetic trees to phylogenetic networks evolving under the general Markov model and the equivariant models.

Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2023 Cancer progression and treatment can be informed by reconstructing its evolutionary history from tumor cells. Although many methods exist to estimate evolutionary trees (called phylogenies) from molecular sequences, traditional approaches assume the ...

Classes of Explicit Phylogenetic Networks and their Biological and Mathematical Significance [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The evolutionary relationships among organisms have traditionally been represented using rooted phylogenetic trees. However, due to reticulate processes such as hybridization or lateral gene transfer, evolution cannot always be adequately represented by a phylogenetic tree, and rooted phylogenetic networks that describe such complex processes have been

Survey of molecular phylogenetics
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2007 Rapidly increasing amount of biological data necessarily requires techniques that would enable to extract the information hidden in the data. Methods of molecular phylogenetics are commonly used tools as well as objects of continuous research within many

Modeling the Ecology and Evolution of Biodiversity: Introduction to the Special Issue
Diversity, 2022 Applying relevant statistical models to empirical data analysis has been considered a very important procedure for scientists to answer research questions in the fields of biodiversity, phylogeography, evolutionary biology, paleoecology, phylogenetics ...

Locating a Tree in a Phylogenetic Network in Quadratic Time [PDF]
, 2015 A fundamental problem in the study of phylogenetic networks is to determine whether or not a given phylogenetic network contains a given phylogenetic tree. We develop a quadratic-time algorithm for this problem for binary nearly-stable phylogenetic networks.

Exploring spaces of semi-directed phylogenetic networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Semi-directed phylogenetic networks have recently emerged as a class of phylogenetic networks sitting between rooted (directed) and unrooted (undirected) phylogenetic networks as they contain both directed as well as undirected edges. While the spaces of rooted phylogenetic networks and unrooted phylogenetic networks have been analyzed in recent years ...
