49. The LRT statistic for the test of congruence was calculated assuming a F81 (70) model of DNA substitution. This model allows for different equilibrium nucleotide frequencies but assumes that the rate of transitions is equal to the rate of transversions. The significance of the LRT statistic -2 log A = 69.58 was approximated using the parametric bootstrap procedure.

54. We used a tester version of the program PAUP* 4.0 [D. L. Swofford, PAUP*: Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (*And Other Methods), Version 4.0 (Sinauer, Sunderland, MA, 1996)]. This program estimates trees under the parsimony, distance, and maximum likelihood criteria.

57. The Felsenstein 1984 (F84) model has been implemented in J. Felsenstein's DNAML program since 1984. This model allows different equilibrium nucleotide frequencies and a transition rate-transversion rate bias.
