Description for Phylogenetic Supertrees
Hardback. Deals with 'phylogenetic supertrees'. This book provides a comprehensive look at supertrees, ranging from the methods used to build supertrees to the significance of supertrees to bioinformatic and biological research. It provides reviews of many of the major supertree methods. Editor(s): Bininda-Emonds, Olaf R.P. (Technische Universitat Munchen). Series: Computational Biology. Num Pages: 564 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 31. Weight in Grams: 968.
This is the first book on "phylogenetic supertrees", a recent, but controversial development for inferring evolutionary trees. Rather than analyze the combined primary character data directly, supertree construction proceeds by combining the tree topologies derived from those data. This difference in strategy has allowed for the exciting possibility of larger, more complete phylogenies than are otherwise currently possible, with the potential to revolutionize evolutionarily-based research. This book provides a comprehensive look at supertrees, ranging from the methods used to build supertrees to the significance of supertrees to bioinformatic and biological research.

Reviews for Phylogenetic Supertrees
From the reviews: "It provides a very worthwhile introduction to a topic that is receiving a lot of attention among phylogeneticists in the new millennium: how to combine the information contained in multiple phylogenetic trees with partially overlapping sets of taxa. … this book achieves what it sets out to achieve, which is to provide ...
