Figure 7.

Scatter plots of Inline graphic versus normalized Sackin’s, Colless-like, and total cophenetic indices for 2000 random multifurcating leafy trees with 100 equally sized leaves. Histograms in the margins show the marginal distributions. Dashed reference curves in the first panel are obtained by substituting Inline graphic into Equation 6 with Inline graphic and Inline graphic (upper curve) or Inline graphic (lower curve). We use the Colless-like index with Inline graphic and Inline graphic the mean deviation from the median, as recommended by Mir et al. (2018). Normalization of each index other than Inline graphic depends only on the number of leaves and so does not affect correlations. Trees were generated from the alpha-gamma model with Inline graphic and Inline graphic.
