An explicit birth-death-reticulation model for studying the diversification of phylogenetic networks
Much of the history of life is reticulate and better represented by phylogenetic networks than by strictly bifurcating trees. Understanding the processes that generated that history thus requires models of diversification (speciation and extinction) that incorporate reticulation. However, we currently lack tractable reticulate diversification models. Here we develop a simple…
