Nodal distances for rooted phylogenetic trees
Dissimilarity measures for (possibly weighted) phylogenetic trees based on the comparison of their vectors of path lengths between pairs of taxa, have been present in the systematics literature since the early...

Exact formulas for the variance of several balance indices under the Yule model
One of the main applications of balance indices is in tests of null models of evolutionary processes. The knowledge of an exact formula for a statistic of a balance index, holding for any number ...

Reconstruction of LGT networks from tri-LGT-nets
Phylogenetic networks have gained attention from the scientific community due to the evidence of the existence of evolutionary events that cannot be represented using trees. A variant of phylogenetic networks,...

Revisiting Shao and Sokal’s B2 index of phylogenetic balance
Measures of phylogenetic balance, such as the Colless and Sackin indices, play an important role in phylogenetics. Unfortunately, these indices are specifically designed for phylogenetic trees, and do not exte...

Open AccessGeneration of Orchard and Tree-Child Networks
Phylogenetic networks are an extension of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of reticulate evolution events. One of the classes of networks that has gained the attention of the scientific com...
