Results of phylogenetic tree permutation (PTP) analysis, performed with PAUP software using 50,000 random permutations of the original data. The histogram shows the frequencies of tree lengths generated randomly, assuming the null hypothesis that the communities do not differ phylogenetically. The arrow shows the tree length (77 steps) of the original unpermuted data, corresponding to a P value of 0.005.
