ML estimate of phylogeny for the 135-taxon Galliformes dataset using 100 bootstrap replicates. The 75% complete matrix was used for this analysis. Family names are indicated using colors and the boxes placed to the right of the tree. Phasianidae, the most species-rich clade in Galliformes, is broken into three subgroups: (I) the “erectile clade” (gallopheasants, true partridges, grouse, turkeys, tragopans, and allies); (II) the “non-erectile clade” (Old world quail, junglefowl, francolins, snowcocks, peafowl, peacock-pheasants, argus pheasants, and allies); and (III) Arborophilinae (Hill partridges and allies). We have used a blue box to the left of the tree to indicate that all three of these groups are members of Phasianidae. All but three branches in this tree have 100% bootstrap support (the three cases with < 100% support are indicated by support values adjacent to the relevant nodes
