Inferring Evolutionary Trees with PAUP*
Abstract
This unit provides a general description of reconstructing evolutionary trees using PAUP* 4.0. The protocol takes users through an example analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence data using the parsimony and the likelihood criteria to infer optimal trees. The protocol also discusses searching options available in PAUP* and demonstrates how to import non‐NEXUS formats. Finally, a general discussion is given regarding the pros and cons of the “model‐free” and “model‐based” methods used throughout the protocol.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
