It also supports a parameter which limits the total number of alternate trees being grown at any one time.
In alternate trees that are two steps longer, parsimony recovers the same character state reconstructions for †Mesonychia, because this taxon is a close relative of Cetacea in slightly longer trees (e.g., Figure 3B).
Each of these alternate trees, which disrupt the evolutionary branching pattern of the major genotypes, was then tested against the optimal ML tree using Shimodaira's AU test with the RELL bootstrap approximation (1000 replicates), to determine if they were statistically inferior.
Bootstrap values were estimated with 500 alternate trees generated from the alignment.
Maximum Likelihood (MJ) and Maximum Parsimony (MP) algorithms were used to generate alternate trees for comparison to the NJ tree to ensure its validity.
We used 2 alternate trees to test for selection: ((AD BC)) and (B(A CD))) and found no significant differences between the results of these different topologies.

However, we also noticed that the evolution of the Vmn1r67 sequences appears not to follow the species tree (Figure 2, File S4), and that the sequence data support an alternate tree (Figure 2B) much better than the species tree.
Counts based on automated pattern matching used relatively strict criteria for matches: alternate tree rootings were not considered, and additional gene duplications beyond those in the four models were disallowed.
This grouping is corroborated by the two alternate tree-building methods (see Additional files 4 and 5).
However, both the traditional and the alternate tree topologies can be supported by the data depending on which evolutionary models and tree construction methods are selected.
Approximate unbiased tests of alternate tree-topologies rejected (p < 0.003 in all cases) any tree that broke the monophyly of subclade I (orange), subclade II (pink) or subclade IIIB (dark green) (Fig 4).
