In this paper, we develop a framework for the analysis of these graphs which we call hybrid phylogenies. We are particularly 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 questions." @Article{BSS2004,       AUTHOR = {Baroni, Mihaela and Semple, Charles and Steel, Mike},       TITLE = {A framework for representing reticulate evolution},       YEAR = {2004},       JOURNAL = {ACOM},       VOLUME = {8},       PAGES = {398-401},       URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00026-004-0228-0},       NOTE = {http://www.math.canterbury.ac.nz/~c.semple/papers/BSS04.pdf},       ANNOTE = {ISSUE : 4},       KEYWORDS = {explicit network, from clusters, hybridization, minimum number, phylogenetic network, phylogeny, reconstruction, regular network, SPR distance} }
