PhyloNet is a tool designed mainly for analyzing, reconstructing, and evaluating reticulate (or non-treelike) evolutionary relationships, generally known as phylogenetic networks. Various methods that we have developed make use of techniques and tools from the domain of phylogenetic trees, and hence the PhyloNet package includes several tools for phylogenetic tree analysis. PhyloNet is released under the GNU General Public License. For the full license, see the file GPL.txt included with this distribution.

 Species phylogeny inference is central in biology. PhyloNet considers the scenarios where the incongruence among gene trees are caused by incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and hybridization. Precisely, if
