Axiomatic Opportunities and Obstacles for Inferring a Species Tree from Gene Trees
Axiomatic Opportunities and Obstacles for Inferring a Species Tree from Gene Trees
The reconstruction of a central tendency "species tree" from a large number of conflicting gene trees is a central problem in systematic biology. Moreover, it becomes particularly problematic when taxon coverage is patchy, so that not all taxa are present in every gene tree. Here, we list four apparently desirable …
