Question
4) Pretend it's a year later, and you have collected more data to make a more detailed phylogeny. You notice
that some of these species of birds are sexually dimorphic (males have significantly different plumage
than females, generally much brighter!). You also notice that in some of these species both parents feed
the offspring, while in others only the female feeds the offspring. You imagine that having bright males
near the nest may tend to attract predators to the young.
You want to distinguish between two hypotheses to explain the patterns you see:
1) Males not feeding the young is an adaptation to dimorphism
2) If males don’t feed the young in a species, it will allow them to become brightly colored
To begin to address this question, map the characters changes in dimorphism and males feeding
the young onto each of the trees on the previous page.
