Abstract

Highlights: [•] Rapid bootstrapping can provide inflated support values for polytomies. [•] The SH-like aLRT outperforms the bootstrap when applied to polytomies. [•] The 70% bootstrap cutoff does not equate to a 5% error rate. [•] Rapid bootstrapping with GTRCAT can generate values with very low precision. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
