Test a clade in phylogenetic trees.
We develop a new method for testing a portion of a tree (called a clade) based on multiple tests of many 4-taxon trees in this paper. This is particularly useful when the phylogenetic tree constructed by other methods have a clade that is difficult to explain from a biological point of view. The statement about the test of the clade can be made through the multiple P values from these individua...

متن کاملNew measures of topological stability in phylogenetic trees – Taking taxon composition into account
In phylogenetic trees the addition and removal of taxa has large effects on tree topology, hence measures of branch support and tree stability should account for taxonomic composition. Currently no comprehensive system of composition-dependent parameters exists in any cladistic or phenetic strategy. We introduce several values and indices based on a modification of the original jackknife resamp...
متن کاملIncreased taxon sampling greatly reduces phylogenetic error.
Several authors have argued recently that extensive taxon sampling has a positive and important effect on the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates. However, other authors have argued that there is little benefit of extensive taxon sampling, and so phylogenetic problems can or should be reduced to a few exemplar taxa as a means of reducing the computational complexity of the phylogenetic analysis....
متن کاملPhylogenetic test of the molecular clock and linearized trees.
To estimate approximate divergence times of species or species groups with molecular data, we have developed a method of constructing a linearized tree under the assumption of a molecular clock. We present two tests of the molecular clock for a given topology: two-cluster test and branch-length test. The two-cluster test examines the hypothesis of the molecular clock for the two lineages create...
