8 \item{\dots}{either (i) a single object of class \code{"phylo"}, (ii) a
9 series of such objects separated by commas, or (iii) a list
10 containing such objects.}
11 \item{p}{a numeric value between 0.5 and 1 giving the proportion for a
12 clade to be represented in the consensus tree.}
13 \item{check.labels}{a logical specifying whether to check the labels
14 of each tree. If \code{FALSE} (the default), it is assumed that all
15 trees have the same tip labels, and that they are in the same order
19 Given a series of trees, this function returns the consensus tree. By
20 default, the strict-consensus tree is computed. To get the
21 majority-rule consensus tree, use \code{p = 0.5}. Any value between
22 0.5 and 1 can be used.
25 Using \code{check.labels = FALSE} results in
26 considerable decrease in computing times. This requires that all
27 trees have the same tip labels, \emph{and} these labels are
28 ordered similarly in all trees (in other words, the element
29 \code{tip.label} are identical in all trees).
32 an object of class \code{"phylo"}.
