Distances between Extension Spaces of Phylogenetic Trees
Phylogenetic trees summarize evolutionary relationships between organisms, and tools to analyze collections of phylogenetic trees enable contrasts between different genes' ancestry. The BHV metric space has enabled the analysis of collections of trees that share a common set of leaves, but many genes are not shared, even between closely related species. BHV extension spaces represent trees with non-identical leaf sets in a common BHV space, but limited analytical tools exist for extension spaces. We define the distance between two phylogenetic trees with non-identical leaf sets as the shortest BHV distance between their extension spaces, and develop a reduced gradient algorithm to compute this distance. We study the scalability of our algorithm and apply it to analyze gene trees spanning multiple domains of life. Our distance and algorithm offer a fully general, interpretable approach to analyzing both ancient and recent evolutionary divergence.

Spaces of ranked tree-child networks
Ranked tree-child networks are a recently introduced class of rooted phylogenetic networks in which the evolutionary events represented by the network are ordered so as to respect the flow of time. This class includes th…
The complexity of comparing multiply-labelled trees by extending phylogenetic-tree metrics
A multilabeled tree (or MUL-tree) is a rooted tree in which every leaf is labelled by an element from some set, but in which more than one leaf may be labelled by the same element of that set. In phylogenetics, such tree…
Testing to distinguish measures on metric spaces
We study the problem of distinguishing between two distributions on a metric space; i.e., given metric measure spaces $({\mathbb X}, d, \mu_1)$ and $({\mathbb X}, d, \mu_2)$, we are interested in the problem of determini…
A partial order and cluster-similarity metric on rooted phylogenetic trees
Metrics on rooted phylogenetic trees are integral to a number of areas of phylogenetic analysis. Cluster-similarity metrics have recently been introduced in order to limit skew in the distribution of distances, and to en…
Geometric comparison of phylogenetic trees with different leaf sets
The metric space of phylogenetic trees defined by Billera, Holmes, and Vogtmann, which we refer to as BHV space, provides a natural geometric setting for describing collections of trees on the same set of taxa. However, …
