A Macroevolutionary Perspective on Multiple Sexual Traits in the Phasianidae (Galliformes)

Figure 1

Supermatrix phylogeny of Galliformes. Estimates of phylogeny for galliformes were obtained by unpartitioned (a) and partitioned (b) ML analyses. The root of Galliformes was placed between Megapodidae and other galliformes, a position consistent with large-scale studies that included both outgroups and members of all five families [43, 64]. Stars indicate that the adjacent branch had strong (≥95%) bootstrap support, whereas dots nodes indicate that the adjacent branch had moderate (≥70%) bootstrap support. The topology and degree of support for the partitioned Bayesian MCMC analysis were virtually identical to that of the partitioned ML analysis (if the tendency for Bayesian posterior probabilities to exceed ML bootstrap values is considered).
