Abstract
The reconstruction of evolutionary trees is one of the primary objectives in phylogenetics. Such a tree represents historical evolutionary relationship between different species or organisms. Tree comparisons are used for multiple purposes, from unveiling the history of species to deciphering evolutionary associations amongorganisms and geographical areas.In the paper, we describe a general method for comparing hylogenetic trees. We focus on four metrics for binary unrooted trees. We present results of a computational experiment concerning an application of those metrics to estimating the quality of a phylogenetic signal.
