Figure 5.

Gene trees in networks that display the same trees. Here Inline graphic and Inline graphic display the same trees with the same branch lengths given suitable choices of parameters. Similarly, Inline graphic and Inline graphic display the same trees. Two gene trees are shown with coalescence times that are compatible with both Inline graphic and Inline graphic, and another two gene trees are shown with coalescence times compatible with both Inline graphic and Inline graphic so that knowing the coalescence times in the gene tree does not determine which network it evolved in. The gene trees in this figure cannot be represented as having evolved in a species tree displayed by the networks. The gene tree in Inline graphic corresponds to case Inline graphic where Inline graphic goes left, Inline graphic goes right, then left. The gene tree in Inline graphic corresponds to case Inline graphic, where both go left, then Inline graphic goes left, Inline graphic goes right.
