Whether you are looking for an introduction to the field of tree balance, a reference work on the multitude of available balance indices or inspiration for your future research, this book offers all three. It delves into the significance of tree balance in phylogenetics and other research domains, where numerous indices have been introduced over the years. While the variations in definitions and underlying principles among these indices have long remained a challenge, this survey addresses the problem by presenting formal definitions of balance and imbalance indices and establishing desirable properties.
The book is comprehensive both in the inclusion of a variety of indices and in the information provided on them: the authors meticulously analyze and categorize established indices, shedding light on their general, statistical and combinatorial properties. They reveal that, while some known balance indices fail to meet the most basic criteria, certain tree shape statistics from other contexts prove to be effective balance measures. The collected properties are neatly presented, numerous new results are established, open research questions are highlighted, and possible applications are discussed.
Reviewing over twenty (im)balance indices, a wealth of mathematical insights is provided, accompanied by real-world examples showcasing the importance of tree balance in diverse research areas. Catering to researchers, students, mathematicians, and biologists, the book can be used as a textbook for university seminars, a reference on tree balance, and as a source of inspiration for future research. It is accompanied by the free R package 'treebalance', a powerful tool to further explore and apply the discussed concepts, and a website allowing quick access to the main information and the latest developments in the field.

Acerca del autor
Mareike Fischer is a professor of Biomathematics and Stochastics at the University of Greifswald (Germany). She obtained her Master's degree in Mathematics at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (Germany) in 2005 and her PhD in Biomathematics at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) in 2009. Her research mainly focusses on mathematical phylogenetics. This includes analyzing properties of evolutionary trees and networks as well as developing reconstruction methods for such structures.
Lina Herbst obtained her PhD in Biomathematics at the University of Greifswald (Germany) in 2019. She became a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History (Jena, Germany). Now she holds a Walter Benjamin fellowship funded by the German Research Foundation and hosted at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Her research interests include phylogenetics and phylolinguistics, in particular developing phylogenetic tools to address questionsin the field of language evolution.
Sophie J. Kersting obtained her Master's degree in Biomathematics from the University of Greifswald (Germany) in 2020. She currently works as a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in Greifswald and is pursuing a PhD at the intersection of mathematical phylogenetics and 3D plant architecture.
A. Luise Kühn obtained a Master of Science in Biomathematics from the University of Greifswald (Germany) in 2018. After that, she was a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in Greifswald working on balance concepts in phylogenetics and plant ecology. Currently, she is a statistician in the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Medicine Greifswald analyzing population health data. In her work she uses mathematics to gain biological insights.
Kristina Wicke obtained her PhD in Biomathematics from the University of Greifswald (Germany) in 2020. She then spent two years as a President's Postdoctoral Scholar at The Ohio State University (USA) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Jersey Institute of Technology (USA). Her research focus lies in mathematical phylogenetics, in particular in phylogenetic diversity indices and structural properties of phylogenetic trees and networks.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
