Identifying species network features from gene tree quartets under the coalescent model
We show that many topological features of level-1 species networks are identifiable from the distribution of the gene tree quartets under the network multi-species coalescent model. In particular, every cycle of size at least 4 and every hybrid node in a cycle of size at least 5 is identifiable. This is a step toward justifying the inference of such networks which was recently implemented by Sol\'is-Lemus and An\'e. We show additionally how to compute quartet concordance factors for a network in terms of simpler networks, and explore some circumstances in which cycles of size 3 and hybrid nodes in 4-cycles can be detected.

Identifiability and Reconstructibility of Species Phylogenies Under a Modified Coalescent
Coalescent models of evolution account for incomplete lineage sorting by specifying a species tree parameter which determines a distribution on gene trees. It has been shown that the unrooted topology of the species tree…
Inferring metric trees from weighted quartets via an intertaxon distance
A metric phylogenetic tree relating a collection of taxa induces weighted rooted triples and weighted quartets for all subsets of three and four taxa, respectively. New intertaxon distances are defined that can be calcul…
Identifiability of Level-1 Species Networks from Gene Tree Quartets
When hybridization or other forms of lateral gene transfer have occurred, evolutionary relationships of species are better represented by phylogenetic networks than by trees. While inference of such networks remains chal…
NANUQ: A method for inferring species networks from gene trees under the coalescent model
Species networks generalize the notion of species trees to allow for hybridization or other lateral gene transfer. Under the Network Multispecies Coalescent Model, individual gene trees arising from a network can have an…
Phylogenomic Models from Tree Symmetries
A model of genomic sequence evolution on a species tree should include not only a sequence substitution process, but also a coalescent process, since different sites may evolve on different gene trees due to incomplete l…
