  1. CONSENSUS“general or widespread agreement” • Consensus tree – a tree depicting agreement among a set of trees • a representation of a set of trees • a phylogenetic inference from a set of trees • Consensus methods can be characterised in terms of: • Procedures - algorithms • Axioms - desirable properties they satisfy • Objective functions - as trees that optimise some measure of fit between it and the input trees.

  2. Conservative/Liberal CMs CMs characterised by Type of information/relationships (e.g. full splits) Condition for inclusion in consensus Conservative Strict Semi-strict Liberal Majority rule

  5. Reduced CMs • Focus is upon any relationships (splits) rather than only full splits • Occur in strict, majority-rule and semi-strict varieties • Uses polytomies (branch contractions) and pruning leaves or both to remove conflict • May be more sensitive than conventional methods focusing only on full splits

  7. Parsimony analysis of poorly known fossils - an extreme case • Phylogenetic palaeontologists often have data sets that include very poorly known fossil taxa • Inclusion of such taxa is sometimes associated with a proliferation of most parsimonious tree and poorly resolved consensus trees • ‘Rogue’ taxa obfuscate consistent relationships among other taxa

  11. Extending Support Measures • The same measures (BP, JP & DI) that are used for clades/splits can also be determined for triplets and quartets • This provides a lot more information because there are more triplets/quartets than there are clades • Furthermore....

  12. The Decay Theorem • The DI of an hypothesis of relationships is equal to the lowest DI of the resolved triplets that the hypothesis entails • This applies equally to BPs and JPs as well as DIs • Thus a phylogenetic chain is no stronger than its weakest link! • and, measures of clade support may give a very incomplete picture of the distribution of support
