These observations might result from processes of species diversification and/or processes of sequence evolution that are not tree-like. In these cases, bifurcating tree representations provide poor visualization of phylogenetic signals in sequence data. In this paper, we use median networks to study DNA sequence substitution patterns in plant nuclear and chloroplast markers. We describe how to prune median networks to obtain so called pruned median networks. These simpler networks may help to provide a useful framework for investigating the phylogenetic complexity of recently diverged taxa with hybrid origins. © 2001 Academic Press." @Article{HMPD2001,       AUTHOR = {Huber, Katharina and Moulton, Vincent and Lockhart, Peter J. and Dress, Andreas W.
