• abstract = "We consider the problem of estimating the evolutionary history of a collection of organisms in terms of a phylogenetic tree. This is a hard combinatorial optimization problem for which different EA approaches are proposed and evaluated. Using two problem instances of different sizes, it is shown that an EA that directly encodes trees and uses ad-hoc operators performs better than several decoder-based EAs, but does not scale well with the problem size. A greedy-decoder EA provides the overall best results, achieving near 100percent success at a lower computational cost than the remaining approaches.",
