Species Networks Special Issue

This special collection includes topics related to the development of novel methods for reconstructing phylogenetic networks from different mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches that highlight the challenges of network reconstruction and the needs of contemporary genomic data. In addition, the collection broadcasts diverse applications of phylogenetic networks on a wide variety of organisms across the Tree of Life.
