, PC = Pearson Correlations, values presented are the means that were obtained from the different tree comparisons.

, wRMSD = Weighted Root Mean Square Deviations, values presented are the means that were obtained from the different tree comparisons.

, slope was calculated for SR(1) versus NFL(1).

, RF = averaged Robinson Foulds distance between NFL and SR trees.

, WRF1 = averaged Weighted Robinson Foulds distance between NFL and SR trees based on the sum of the supports of the unique bipartitions.

, WRF2 = averaged Weighted Robinson Foulds distance between NFL and SR trees based on the sum of the supports of the unique bipartitions plus the difference of support values amongst the shared bipartitions.
