P is the probability of getting at least the observed Δ -ln (L) value under the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the ML tree and the alternative topology (SH test; RELL approximation). ML values are in boldface. Analyses are only for strains with all three genes sequenced. The DHFR-TS topology compared with the TR data only includes the H2 haplotypes from clade C (results with the H1 haplotypes are similar). The first two relaxed congruency tests compare the likelihood of the ML tree for the given mitochondrial or nuclear dataset with that of a tree in which only the position of strains 12-FLORIDA, 27-CANIII, and nd(27)-EP 255 is forced to be congruent with their position in the nuclear or mitochondrial topologies, respectively. The last three rows are for relaxed congruency tests in which strict congruency is forced for one major clade at a time. 

*

Identical to the ML value, because all TR sequences from clade C are identical.
