## Abstract Phylogenetic trees from multiple genes can be obtained in two fundamentally different ways. In one, gene sequences are concatenated into a superβgene alignment, which is then analyzed to generate the species tree. In the other, phylogenies are inferred separately from each gene, and a c
Phylogenies based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may represent gene trees that may not be congruent with the equivalent species tree. One solution to this problem is to include additional, independent loci from the nuclear genome. Sequence data from the seventh intron of the beta-fibrinogen gene were
