Cophylogenetic comparison of feather lice (b) with their avian hosts (a). Colors of branches in the feather louse phylogeny corresponds to the colors of the branch of major groups of their avian hosts. The feather louse tree is based upon the partitioned maximum likelihood analysis of the concatenated matrix with 3rd codon positions removed (Fig. 1). Timescale corresponds to results from dating analyses of the feather louse tree performed in MCMCtree. The bird host tree is based on Prum et al.2 Dashed arrows indicate reconstructed host-switches from other avian groups to Palaeognathae as indicated by the Jane cophylogenetic analyses. Colored circles identify cospeciation events between birds and feather lice as indicated by the Jane analysis.
