dc.description.abstractAcyclic directed graphs (ADGs) are increasingly being viewed as more appropriate for representing certain evolutionary relationships, particu- larly in biology, than rooted trees. In this paper, we develop a framework for the analysis of these graphs which we call hybrid phylogenies. We are particu- larly interested in the problem whereby one is given a set of phylogenetic trees and wishes to determine a hybrid phylogeny that ‘embeds’ each of these trees and which requires the smallest number of hybridisation events. We show that this quantity can be greatly reduced if additional species are involved, and investigate other combinatorial aspects of this and related questionsen
