Question

4) Below is a phylogenetic tree among a group of bird species. The characteristics of the birds' tails are mapped onto the tree. Tails are either long or short, thick or thin, and red or blue.

What are the traits in each of the following species? Circle one trait for each pair trait for each species (ie, for Species A circle either long or short, circle either thick or thin, and circle either red or blue - depending on what you infer as the features of Species A based on the phylogeny and character mapping)

Species A: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species G: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species D: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species F: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species H: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species B long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species I: long/short thick/thin red/blue

Species C: long/short thick/thin red/blue
