Abstract

We consider the problem of determining the topological structure of a phylogenetic network given only information about the path-length distances between taxa. In particular, one of the main results of the paper shows that binary tree-child networks are essentially determined by such information.

Keywords: Distance methods; Phylogenetic network; Temporal network; Tree-child network.
