## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_NT/Tree/Parsimony/Tree/Add Selected Species

## DESCRIPTION

### The 'selected species' (see ´Glossary´) is positioned within the current tree according to maximum parsimony criteria. The current tree topology is not changed.

## NOTES

### The current parsimony value (number of base changes needed) is displayed after the 'Current Par' prompt in the upper part of the 'ARB_PARSIMONY' window and the 'Message' window (pops up while calculating).

### This tool should be used for the positioning of 'species' for which only partial or preliminary sequence data are available.

## EXAMPLES

### None

## WARNINGS

### The phylogenetic information conferred by the new sequence is not used for global tree optimization.

## BUGS

### No bugs known
