Summary of Abbreviations Used to Describe the Gene Tree Analogs for the Species Topology Tests (inspired by table 1 of Goldman et al. 2000).

Tree Choice	Statistical Procedure	Optimization Algorithm	Test Statistic and Distribution	Test Statistic Comparison
pri: topologies selected a priori	NP: nonparametric bootstrap	f: all parameters are estimated (full)	c: centered distribution	d: test statistic is compared directly with its distribution
pos: topologies chosen from analysis of data (posteriori)	P: parametric	p: some parameters are fixed (partial) n: no optimization of any parameters	u: uncentered distribution	n: normal distribution assumed for statistic
