Species tree estimation is a basic part of many biological research projects, ranging from answering basic evolutionary questions (e.g., how did a group of species adapt to their environments?) to addressing questions in functional biology. Yet, species tree estimation is very challenging, due to processes such as incomplete lineage sorting, gene duplication and loss, horizontal gene transfer, and hybridization, which can make gene trees differ from each other and from the overall evolutionary history of the species. Over the last 10–20 years, there has been tremendous growth in methods and mathematical theory for estimating species trees and phylogenetic networks, and some of these methods are now in wide use. In this survey, we provide an overview of the current state of the art, identify the limitations of existing methods and theory, and propose additional research problems and directions.

多物种聚结:系统发生学的理论和应用

物种树估计是许多生物学研究项目的基本部分,从回答基本的进化问题(例如,一组物种如何适应它们的环境?)到解决功能生物学中的问题。然而,物种树的估计非常具有挑战性,因为谱系排序不完整、基因重复和丢失、水平基因转移和杂交等过程会使基因树彼此不同,并且与物种的整体进化历史不同。在过去的 10-20 年里,估计物种树和系统发育网络的方法和数学理论有了巨大的发展,其中一些方法现在得到了广泛的使用。在本次调查中,我们概述了当前技术水平,确定了现有方法和理论的局限性,
