Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) is a prominent quantitative measure of the biodiversity of a collection of present-day species (taxa). This measure is based on the evolutionary distance among the species in the collection. Loosely speaking, if T is a roo...

On the Maximum Agreement Subtree Conjecture for Balanced Trees (2022)
Journal Article

We give a counterexample to the conjecture of Martin and Thatte that two balanced rooted binary leaf-labelled trees on n leaves have a maximum agreement subtree (MAST) of size at least n 1 2 . In particular, we show that for any c > 0, there exist tw... Read More about On the Maximum Agreement Subtree Conjecture for Balanced Trees.
