Overview
========

The :mod:`phylozoo.core.network` module provides classes for working with phylogenetic networks,
which represent evolutionary relationships including reticulate events such as hybridization,
recombination, and horizontal gene transfer.

PhyloZoo provides two main network types: **DirectedPhyNetwork** for rooted networks with all
edges directed, and **SemiDirectedPhyNetwork** for networks with directed hybrid edges and
undirected tree edges, allowing flexible representation without requiring a fixed root.
