Table 4
Reconstructed dimorphism at ancestral nodes. Ancestral values are the summed dimorphism at each node, followed by the 95% range in parentheses.
| | Maximum possible | Ancestor of outgroups | Ancestor of Phasianidae | Ancestor of core phasianids |
| | Total dimorphism (14) | 9 | 2.8 (1.7–3.4) | 4.0 (2.4–5.3) | 5.4 (4.6–7.1) | | Signal dimorphism (15) | 6 | 1.8 (0.4–2.3) | 2.7 (1.5–3.6) | 3.3 (2.6–4.4) | | Competitive dimorphism (16) | 3 | 1.0 (0.7–1.9) | 1.3 (0.8–1.8) | 2.1 (1.6–2.9) | | Plumage dimorphism (17) | 5 | 1.8 (0.4–2.2) | 2.7 (1.5–3.6) | 3.3 (2.6–4.4) |
