Tree Shape Metrics

Tree Shape Metrics is a quantitative framework used in phylogenetics to characterize and compare the topological structure of evolutionary trees by summarizing their branching patterns through statistical measures that distinguish trees based on properties such as balance, symmetry, and diversification heterogeneity.
