New methods for parsimony analysis of large data sets are presented. The new methods are sectorial searches, tree-drifting, and tree-fusing. For Chase et nl.'s 500-taxon data set these methods (on a 266-MHz Pentium II) find a shortest tree in less than 10 min (i.e., over 15,000 times faster than PAUP and 1000 times faster than PAUP*). Making a complete parsimony analysis requires hitting minimum length several times independently, but not necessarily all "islands"; for Chase et al.'s data set, this can be done in 4 to 6 h. The new methods also perform well in other cases analyzed (which range from 170 to 854 taxa). (C) 1999 The Willi Hennig Society.
