A maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic tree constructed using 16S rRNA from 56 avian species described in Supplementary Table S3. The tree was rooted using A. mississippiensis (American alligator) and H. sapiens (human). The tree was congruent with those from neighbor joining, minimum evolution, and maximum parsimony methods. Confidence of the groupings was estimated using 1000 bootstrap replications. The Arabic numeral at the base of a node is the bootstrap value. The Arabic numerals at the base of a node are the bootstrap values derived from the maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining, and minimum-evolution analysis, respectively. Bootstrap values lower than 50% are not shown.
