\usage{
-consensus(..., p = 1)
+consensus(..., p = 1, check.labels = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{either (i) a single object of class \code{"phylo"}, (ii) a
containing such objects.}
\item{p}{a numeric value between 0.5 and 1 giving the proportion for a
clade to be represented in the consensus tree.}
+ \item{check.labels}{a logical specifying whether to check the labels
+ of each tree. If \code{FALSE} (the default), it is assumed that all
+ trees have the same tip labels, and that they are in the same order
+ (see details).}
}
\description{
Given a series of trees, this function returns the consensus tree. By
majority-rule consensus tree, use \code{p = 0.5}. Any value between
0.5 and 1 can be used.
}
+\details{
+ Using (the default) \code{check.labels = FALSE} results in
+ considerable decrease in computing times. This requires that (i) all
+ trees have the same tip labels, \emph{and} (ii) these labels are
+ ordered similarly in all trees (in other words, the element
+ \code{tip.label} are identical in all trees).
+}
\value{
an object of class \code{"phylo"}.
