Phylogenetic trees summarize evolutionary relationships between organisms, and tools to analyze collections of phylogenetic trees enable contrasts between different genes’ ancestry. The BHV metric ...

Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of nontreelike evolutionary events, like recombination, hybridization, or lateral gene transfer.

The aim of this study was to test the competition-relatedness hypothesis for semiarid tree species. Thus, an experiment was carried out with a phylogenetic gradient of tree species, planted in pairs.
