- Evolutionary and ecological trees and networksPublication . Hernández-García, E.; Herrada, E. A.; Rozenfeld, A. F.; Tessone, C. J.; Eguíluz, Víctor M.; Duarte, C. M.; ARNAUD-HAOND, Sophie; Serrão, EsterEvolutionary relationships between species are usually represented in phylogenies, i.e. evolutionary trees, which are a type of networks. The terminal nodes of these trees represent species, which are made of individuals and populations among which gene flow occurs. This flow can also be represented as a network. In this paper we briefly show some properties of these complex networks of evolutionary and ecological relationships. First, we characterize large scale evolutionary relationships in the Tree of Life by a degree distribution. Second, we represent genetic relationships between individuals of a Mediterranean marine plant, Posidonia oceanica, in terms of a Minimum Spanning Tree. Finally, relationships among plant shoots inside populations are represented as networks of genetic similarity.
