Σύνοψη	Network-based microbiome diversity analysis integrates graph-theoretic co-occurrence network inference with classical alpha- and beta-diversity metrics to characterize the structural organization of microbial communities. Rather than treating taxa as independent entities, the method models pairwise microbial associations as edges in a network, enabling identification of keystone taxa, community modules, and ecological interaction patterns that simple diversity indices cannot detect.	Phylogenetic analysis reconstructs the evolutionary history of organisms, genes, or proteins by comparing molecular sequence data and estimating the branching tree that best explains observed similarities and differences. Rooted in the work of Felsenstein and colleagues from the 1960s onward, it is a cornerstone technique in evolutionary biology, microbiology, epidemiology, and comparative genomics, supporting tasks from tracing viral outbreak origins to classifying novel species.
