“…This space has a natural stratification, with each cell corresponding to a combinatorial type of trees -this is the complex of phylogenetic trees. Complexes of trees were studied for different purposes, before and after [2], see [4,17,19,21,25,24]. In particular, in [21] Robinson and Whitehouse determined the homotopy type of the complex of phylogenetic trees on n leaves to be a wedge of (n − 1)!…”
