Abstract

The amalgamation of leaf-labelled (phylogenetic) trees on overlapping leaf sets into one (super)tree is a central problem in several areas of classification, particularly evolutionary biology. In this paper, we describe a new technique for amalgamating rooted phylogenetic trees. This appears to be the first such method to provably exhibit particular desirable properties which we list and establish.
