This is a joint post by David Morrison and Ajith Harish. There has been a flurry of reviewing activity recently about the new book: Th...

Over the years, a number of methods have been explored for constructing evolutionary networks, starting with parsimony criteria for optimiz...

There are many ways to construct a phylogenetic tree, and after we have done so we are usually expected to indicate something about "b...

It seems to me that the study of reticulate evolutionary histories currently boils down to two options: (1) reconstructing a species ...

Because it seems to be an interesting topic, I have written a number of posts about the history of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in phylog...

"Genealogies" produced on the web are frequently no such thing, they are merely timelines. However, the following alleged Genealo...

In biology we often distinguish microevolutionary events, which occur at the population level, from macroevolutionary events, which involve...

It has been noted before that we have a wide range of mathematical techniques available for producing data-display networks, most notably t...

I have published a number of blog posts about early phylogenetics involving horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The historical issue is that al...

Introgression is the transfer of genetic material from one species to another via sexual reproduction, and this process has been recognized...

These days, there are many unrooted affinity-type networks used to display conflicting phylogenetic signals. There are many different metho...

When it comes to phylogenetic networks, there is often misunderstanding between biological and computational scientists, because the former...

The first descriptions of what we now call horizontal gene transfer (HGT) started appearing in the middle of last century (Freeman 1951; Le...
