Résumé :	When Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA) or Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity (PAE) is performed under Wagner Parsimony, some branches in the resulting resolved area cladogram(s), may be supported by reversals, interpreted as extinctions. Such support is meaningless, so one may perform the analysis with irreversible characters. This, in turn, will increase the number of independent forward character changes on the resolved area cladogram(s) which can also be problematical in BPA, but not in PAE.
