As I understand it, given a particular data set, Templeton's test asks
whether character changes on one tree are significantly different
(more/less parsimonious explanation of the data) than character changes on
another tree.
Templeton's test is described in: Templeton, A. 1983. Phylogenetic
inference from restriction endonuclease cleavage site maps with particular
reference to the evolution of humans and the apes. Evolution 37:221-224.
Larson explicitly describes and demonstrates Templeton's test in: Larson,
A. 1994. The comparison of morphological and molecular data in
phylogenetic systematics. In: Molecular Ecology and Evolution: Approaches
and Applications, B Schierwater, B Streit, G. P. Wagner, & R. DeSalle, eds.
Birkhauser Verlag Basel, Switzerland.
Larson describes how to do Templeton's Test using McClade and PAUP, but it
is much more easily implemented in PAUP*.
I'm not familiar with the Griffith test.
