“…On the other hand, the methods that are used for the host-parasite analysis test whether there is a "significant" level of congruence between the trees. Since [18] (see a summary of works in [19] and the references within), there have been many studies analyzing host-parasite cospeciation. For example, the LRT (e.g., [20]), applying the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques for estimating lateral transfers [21], methods that compare trees' pairwise distance matrices (e.g., by the Mantel test [22], ParaFit [23], and [24]), Brooks parsimony analysis (PSA) [25][26][27][28][29], and PSA [30] implemented in the software TreeMap [31,32] are statistical methods used to test for codivergence between trees.…”
