An algorithm for reconstructing ultrametric tree-child networks from inter-taxa distances (2016)
Journal Article

Traditional “distance based methods” reconstruct a phylogenetic tree from a matrix of pair-wise distances between taxa. A phylogenetic network is a generalisation of a phylogenetic tree that can describe evolutionary events such as reticulation and h...

Three important and related measures for summarizing the dissimilarity in phylogenetic trees are the minimum number of hybridization events required to fit two phylogenetic trees onto a single phylogenetic network (the hybridization number), the (roo...
