To assess congruence between data partitions three methods were used.
Congruence among data sets was tested with the partition homogeneity test [41].
This congruence of data from animal and human studies supports a similar role for Ad36 in humans.
Computer simulations were designed in [ 41] to assess the performance of ILD under different conditions of rejection of the null hypothesis (i.e., congruence between data sets).
We compare our time-calibrated phylogeny to temporal patterns of origination and extinction revealed by the Neogene fossil record, and find remarkable congruence between data sets.
This test confirmed our analysis of topologies of single locus trees - the clades containing T. harzianum and T. sp. 'afroharzianum' showed congruence of data suggesting their clonality.
In order to test for congruence among data partitions, 104 replicates of the partition homogeneity test (ILD) [ 74, 75] were run in PAUP 4.0b10, comparing the phylogenetic signal within each of the following partitions: a) between both mitochondrial genes, b) between both nuclear genes, c) between mitochondrial versus nuclear genes, and d) among all genes.
We emphasize patterns of congruence between fossil data and the genetic data, including age estimates based on radiometric dating relative to genetic molecular clocks.
This means that the recent discovery of fossils such as †Indohyus [3] and †Rodhocetus [4], which are critical taxa in early cetaceamorphan evolution did not result in congruence between phylogenetic data from the fossil record and data from living taxa (see also discussion in [1]).
We will examine the congruence of the data documented by the GPs on the baseline forms with the data referring to the same calendar day entered by the practice nurses some 6 9 months later.
The heart of our paper, therefore, lies in the congruence between these data patterns, not in the satellite images themselves.
