#About these slides

The following phylogenetic networks of Anolis species were generated in SplitsTree. They represent selected screenshots of networks explored as a live demo in the video associated with these slides. — #Uncorrected P model
Phylogenetic network of Anolis species created in SplitsTree using the uncorrected P model. Circular phylogenetic network with many branches splitting outwards from a central point to multiple Anolis species at the periphery. The network is oriented so that the species Diplolaemus darwinii and Phenacosaurus acutirostrus appear on the right hand side. — #Exploring splits
Click on the branches of the network to explore different splits. Here A. ahli appears in two different splits highlighted in yellow.

#Let’s follow a split
This is the network made using the uncorrected p model. We will follow the split containing A. lineatopus and A. limifrons through different models.

#Jukes Cantor Model
These networks were created using the Jukes Cantor model. Note that the species A. limifrons appears in two alternate splits.

#HKY85 Model
This network was created with the HKY85 model. Note that A. limfrons is paired with A. humilis in this split.

#Bootstrapped network
Screen shot of a circular phylogenetic network with multiple branches splitting out from a central point. Each branch is annotated with a value between 0-100 — #Bootstrapped network - a closer look
Let’s explore our two splits again

#Bootstrapped network - a closer look
This the centre of our bootstrapped network. Note that the values are smaller. Close up screen shot of a section of a circular phylogenetic network with multiple branches splitting out from a central point. The splits form a star like shape and are annotated with numbers
