Supplementary Figure 1. Correlation (adjusted r²) between distances for 10 000 pairs of 25-leaf trees

Supplementary Figure 2. Correlation (adjusted r²) between distances for 10 000 pairs of 50-leaf trees

Not plotted:

  • MASTI, which correlates perfectly with MAST;

  • NNI: both upper and lower bounds correlate almost perfectly with RF, due to the method of calculating the approximation.
