....assure our result, we have extracted the coding regions only from mtDNAs of the above species, and performed the same computation. We have obtained the same tree. Phylogenetic Position of the Rodents We also analyzed a larger dataset derived from the 34 taxa mitochondrial genome phylogeny in (Reyes et al. 2000). This dataset included 19 of the 20 taxa in (Cao et al. 1998) and the additional 15 taxa: aardvark (Orycteropus afer) armadillo (Dasy pus novemcintus) baboon (Papio hamadryas) dog (Canis familiaris) donkey (Equus asinus) dormouse (Glis glis) elephant (Loxodonta africana) fruit bat ....

....dataset yielded a distance matrix, which, when analyzed by neighbor joining and hypercleaning, resulted in two somewhat di erent phylogenies. The consensus of these two phylogenies is presented in gure 2. While this consensus agrees with the overall structure of the phylogeny presented in (Reyes et al. 2000), including the possible nonmonophyleticity of the rodents, several discrepancies exist. In particular, our method groups the pig with the perisodactyls rather than with the cetartiodactyls, the carnivores form a ferungulate outgroup, and the guinea pig groups with neither the murid nor the ....
