contents Recently, there has been interest in extending long-known results about the multispecies coalescent tree to other models of gene trees. Results about the gene duplication and loss (GDL) tree have mathematical proofs, including species tree identifiability, estimability, and sample complexity of popular algorithms like ASTRAL. Here, this work is continued by characterizing the anomaly zones of uniformly sampled gene trees. The anomaly zone for species trees is the set of parameters where some discordant gene tree occurs with the maximal probability. The detection of anomalous gene trees is an important problem in phylogenomics, as their presence renders effective estimation methods to being positively misleading. Under the multispecies coalescent, anomaly zones are known to exist for rooted species trees with as few as four species. The gene duplication and loss process is a generalization of the generalized linear-birth death process to the rooted species tree, where each edge is treated as a single timeline with exponential-rate duplication and loss. The methods and results come from a detailed probabilistic analysis of trajectories observed from this stochastic process. It is shown that anomaly zones do not exist for rooted GDL balanced trees on four species, but do exist for rooted caterpillar trees, as with the multispecies coalescent.
