We introduce a distance-based phylogeny reconstruction method called “weighted neighbor joining,” or “Weighbor” for short. As in neighbor joining, two taxa are joined in each iteration; however, the Weighbor criterion for choosing a pair of taxa to join takes into account that errors in distance estimates are exponentially larger for longer distanc...
