A Metric on the Space of kth-order reduced Phylogenetic Networks

Abstract Phylogenetic networks can be used to describe the evolutionary history of species which experience a certain number of reticulate events, and represent conflicts in phylogenetic trees that may be due to inadequacies of the evolutionary model used in the construction of the trees. Measuring...
