Does more sequence data improve estimates of galliform phylogeny? Analyses of a rapid radiation using a complete data matrix

The resolution of rapid evolutionary radiations or “bushes” in the tree of life has been one of the most difficult and interesting problems in phylogenetics. The avian order Galliformes appears to have undergone several rapid radiations that have limited the resolution of prior studies and obscured...
