— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...
—Phylogenetic networks are leaf-labeled, rooted, acyclic, directed graphs, that are used to model reticulate evolutionary histories. Several measures for quantifying the topologi...
Split networks are increasingly being used in phylogenetic analysis. Usually, a simple equal-angle algorithm is used to draw such networks, producing layouts that leave much room f...
The Nature Reserve Selection Problem is a problem that arises in the context of studying biodiversity conservation. Subject to budgetary constraints, the problem is to select a set...
Under a stochastic model of molecular sequence evolution the probability of each possible pattern of characters is well defined. The Kimura's three-substitution-types (K3ST) m...
