PhyloNetworks: analysis for phylogenetic networks

doc stable doc dev Build status coverage Code Style: Blue ColPrac: Contributor's Guide on Collaborative Practices for Community Packages PkgEval

Overview

PhyloNetworks is a Julia package with utilities to:

  • read / write phylogenetic trees and networks, in (extended) Newick format. Networks are considered explicit: nodes represent ancestral species. They can be rooted or unrooted.
  • manipulate networks: re-root, prune taxa, remove hybrid edges, extract the major tree from a network, extract displayed networks / trees
  • compare networks / trees with dissimilarity measures (Robinson-Foulds distance on trees)
  • summarize samples of bootstrap networks (or trees) with edge and node support
  • estimate species networks from multilocus data: SNaQ
  • phylogenetic comparative methods for continuous trait evolution on species networks / trees
  • plot networks (and trees), via the companion package PhyloPlots

To get help, check

  • the latest documentation
  • the wiki for a step-by-step tutorial with background on networks (last revised 2022)
  • tutorial for comparative methods, including network calibration (2023 workshop)
  • the google group for common questions. Join the group to post/email your questions, or to receive information on new versions, bugs fixed, etc.

Maximum pseudolikelihood estimation of species network: SNaQ

SNaQ implements the statistical inference method in Solís-Lemus and Ané (2016). The procedure involves a numerical optimization of branch lengths and inheritance probabilities and a heuristic search in the space of phylogenetic networks.

Phylogenetic comparative methods for trait evolution

For continuous traits, study based on the Brownian motion process, with or without transgressive evolution after reticulations:

  • Bastide, Solís-Lemus, Kriebel, Sparks, Ané (2018). Phylogenetic Comparative Methods for Phylogenetic Networks with Reticulations. Systematic Biology, 67(5):800–820. doi:10.1093/sysbio/syy033. SI on dryad including a tutorial for trait evolution and a tutorial for network calibration.

Continuous traits, accounting for within-species variation:

  • Benjamin Teo, Jeffrey P. Rose, Paul Bastide & Cécile Ané (2022). Accounting for intraspecific variation in continuous trait evolution on a reticulate phylogeny. bioRxiv

For a discrete trait (influence of gene flow on the trait, ancestral state reconstruction, rates):

  • Karimi, Grover, Gallagher, Wendel, Ané & Baum (2020). Reticulate evolution helps explain apparent homoplasy in floral biology and pollination in baobabs (Adansonia; Bombacoideae; Malvaceae). Systematic Biology, 69(3):462-478. doi: 10.1093/sysbio/syz073.
