Phylogenetics - Semple, Charles (, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Canterbury a Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution, New Zealand) a Steel, Mike (, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Canterbury a Allan Wilson Ce

Semple and Steel discuss the mathematics that underlies the reconstruction and analysis of these phylogenetic trees.
