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.

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 the dissimilarity between two phylogenetic networks is at the heart of our understanding of the evolutionary history of species. This paper proposes a new metric, i.e. kth-distance, for the space of kth-order reduced phylogenetic networks that can be calculated in polynomial time in the size of the compared networks. |
