Mapping phylogenetic trees to reveal distinct patterns of evolution

Abstract: Evolutionary relationships are frequently described by phylogenetic trees, but a central barrier in many fields is the difficulty of interpreting data containing conflicting phylogenetic signals. We present a metric-based method for comparing trees which extracts distinct alternative evolutionary relationships embedded in data. We demonstrate detection and resolution of phylogenetic uncertainty in a recent study of anole lizards, leading to alternate hypotheses about their evolutionary relationships. We use ou… Show more

“…The phylogenetic landscape was investigated using the R package treespace (Jombart et al, 2017). The statistical distribution of the tree topologies was calculated using principal component analysis with the Kendall-Colijn (KC) distance for rooted trees (Kendall and Colijn, 2016). The trees were rooted using the function reroot of the package phytools v.0.6-99 (Revell, 2012) on Hypseocharis bilobata Killip (Geraniaceae).…”
