Summary
Phylogenetics: Unraveling Evolutionary Relationships
‘Phylogenetics’ delves into the reconstruction and analysis of phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees and networks, utilizing inherited characteristics. This vibrant field sits at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and biology.
While phylogenetic techniques are primarily used in evolutionary biology to infer historical relationships between species, their relevance extends to diverse areas, including…

Critics Review
The authors’ versatility in words, as well as in mathematics, makes reading this book altogether an enjoyable experience for the mathematically-inclined. Systematic Biology The authors state in the preface that their intention is to provide “a reasonably self-contained overview of an expanding field”. In our opinion, they certainly succeed in meeting that goal. Systematic Biology All in all, this book should serve as an excellent mathematical introduction to phylogenetics for beginners and as a good reference for experts in the field. Systematic Biology Concisely and clearly written, Phylogenetics is a must-read for mathematicians or computer scientists who wish to do research in molecular phylogenetics, computational biology and bioinformatics. I hope the book will attract powerful mathematicians into this exciting area of research. TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution … this book provides a concise and lucid summary of the mathematics literature related to phylogenetics. TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution
