Here, we investigate the Sackin index, one of the oldest and most widely used tree balance measures, under a variety of phylogenetic models beyond the standard Yule and Uniform models. The general biased speciation model is a biologically interpretable tree-generating model in which species branch into pairs of descendants according to an intrinsic branching rate, which is then split between the pair of descendants. The proportion of the branching rate of the parent that is assigned to a specific descendant, the split fraction, is a model parameter. Our main result is a formula for the expected value of the Sackin index under the general biased speciation model. Special cases of the general biased speciation model include a case that sets the split fraction to be a constant for each branching event, and two special cases inspired by the Aldous beta-splitting model: a random choice of split fraction is sampled independently at each branching event and drawn from a symmetric beta distribution in the Blum-François beta-splitting model or an asymmetric beta distribution in the Sainudiin-Véber beta-splitting model. As a corollary of our main result, we find formulas for the expected value of the Sackin index under these three cases of the general biased speciation model. We use the formulas to study how the balance of trees depends on the model parameters. Finally, because the Yule model is a special case of the Blum-François beta-splitting model, we find a new proof for the classical result describing the expected value of the Sackin index under the Yule model.</p>","PeriodicalId":50148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Biology","volume":"93 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13669139/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149185686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is formulated as a two-dimensional skew-product, combining a piecewise-smooth one-dimensional base map with an irrational rotation. The notion of quasiperiodic homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits is introduced, and their potential relevance to the transition from smooth tori to SNAs is explored. Forward images of critical lines are shown to reflect key changes in the attractor and its basin, including disconnected components and the formation of holes. Discontinuities in the attractor are found to result from direct contact with the discontinuity line of the map. Through a set of representative examples, we identify three main routes to SNA formation: (i) contact between the attractor and its basin boundary leading to homoclinic orbits, (ii) contact between the attractor and a repeller, leading to homoclinic orbits, and (iii) contact between the attractor and the discontinuity set. These results clarify how different types of critical curves shape the dynamics, and contribute to the understanding of attractor evolution in discontinuous noninvertible quasiperiodically forced systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"157 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
