This model has been derived from 36 artropoda mitochondrial genomes. 

Each gene of the given species was aligned individually. Then, alignments of the whole set 
of 13 genes where concatenated and passed through GBlocks (Castresana, 2000, in JME) with 
parameters and output: 

Minimum Number Of Sequences For A Conserved Position: 20 
Minimum Number Of Sequences For A Flanking Position: 32 
Maximum Number Of Contiguous Nonconserved Positions: 8 
Minimum Length Of A Block: 10 
Allowed Gap Positions: With Half 
Use Similarity Matrices: Yes

The topology used for inferring the model was: 

(((Daph_pulex,Trio_longi),((((((Aleu_aceri,Aleu_duges),Schi_grami),lepi_RS_20), 
((((Ostr_furna,Bomb_manda),(Dros_yakub,Anop_gambi)),Apis_melli),Trib_casta)), 
((Gryl_orien,Locu_migra),(Pter_princ,Peri_fulig))),(Tric_gerts,Ther_domes)), 
(Scut_coleo,Thyr_sp),Varg_hilge,Hutc_macra,((((Ixod_uriae,Haem_flava),Varr_destr), 
(Habr_orego,Hept_hangz)),Limu_polyp),(Poll_polym,Mega_volca),(Gomp_hodgs,Tetr_biela), 
((Pagu_longi,Pena_monod),Harp_harpa),Spel_tulum)); 

Note this is not the ML topology but the consensus one (based on morphological data, 
phylogenetic reconstruction using nuclear genes, etc). Where relationships are 
not clear, a polytomy was introduced (it contains quite a lot of polytomies!). 

The model was estimated using Ziheng Yang's Paml software package. 
A four-categorized gamma distribution was used to account for heterogeneity (alpha 
was estimated to be 0.47821). Sites with ambiguity data were taken into account.
