INTRODUCTION The motivation for this paper is the problem of reconstructing accurate evolutionary history in the presence of reticulation events, such as hybrid speciation (where organisms hybridize and create new species), or horizontal transfer (via hybridization or viral transmission, for example). Both types of reticulation events are su ƒciently common to be of serious concern to systematists; hybrid speciation is common in some very large groups of organisms: plants, sh, amphibians, and many lineages of invertebrates, and horizontal gene transfer appears to be very common in bacteria [8] with lower levels being evident in many multicellular groups. Such evolutionary histories cannot be adequately represented using trees; instead, phylogenetic networks (which are basically directed acyclic graphs, coupled with time constraints) are used. Several methods exist for reconstructing phylogenetic networks from gene datasets; of these, NeighborNet by Bryant
