 However, the majority of work in phylogenetics today continues with the same goals as before, but with biologists using better and more powerful tools for incorporating these complexities into their phylogenetic models. Haber (2019) offers a philosophical treatment of how reticulation and genealogical discordance introduces both challenges and opportunities in the context of phylogenetic inference, asking whether the branches of phylogenetic trees are “too thin” and obscure relevant details found in the internal structure of those lineages. There are a lot of good reasons phylogeneticists might aim to include reticulate structure in their phylogenetic reconstructions. Among other things, it means treating genealogical discordance as data that can be mined, as opposed to noise that needs to be filtered out (Haber 2012, 2019). Philosophers have begun paying more attention to ways that reticulation and discordance have impacted phylogenetic inference beyond microbial genomics. Rather than coming as challenges from cognate fields, these include ways that practicing phylogeneticists have sought to account for and accommodate what we have come to understand about reticulation and discordance (see Haber &amp; Molter 2019 for a special issue dedicated to this topic).
