A Class of General Supertree Methods for Nested Taxa

摘要: Amalgamating smaller evolutionary trees into a single parent tree is an important task in biology. Traditionally, the (supertree) methods used for this amalgamation take collection of leaf-labeled as their input. However, it has been recently highlighted that, practice, such input somewhat limiting and that one would like supertree collections which some interior vertices, well all leaves, are labeled [R. D. M. Page, Phylogenetic Supertrees: Combining Information to Reveal Tree Life, O. Bininda-Emonds, ed., Kluwer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 2004, pp. 247--265]. In paper, we describe what appears be first approach constructing show any method using satisfies particular desirable properties.
