Phylogenetics
This graduate-level book, based on the authors lectures at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, focuses on the mathematical aspects of phylogenetics. It brings together the central results of the field (providing proofs of the main theorem), outlines their biological significance, and indicates how algorithms may be derived. The presentation is self-contained and relies on discrete mathematics with some probability theory. A set of exercises and at least one specialist topic end each chapter.
Preliminaries; 1. Graphs and their role in biology; 2. X-trees and phylogenetic trees; 3. Trees and splits; 4. Compatibility of characters; 5. Maximum Parsimony; 6. Subtrees and supertrees; 7. Tree-based metrics; 8. Markov models on trees; References; Commonly-used symbols; Index
