Abstract

We show that any two tree-based rooted binary phylogenetic networks (with the same number of reticulation nodes and identical degrees at the root) are connected by at most [Formula presented] rooted nearest-neighbour interchange (rNNI) moves. As a corollary of the proof we obtain that the diameter is at most a 2k additive term larger for distance-1 tail moves.
