      Phylogenetic patterns can be used to generate detailed historical hypotheses about the evolution of character systems, including parental-care behavior. Phylogenetic analysis of 60 taxa using parental-care data (15 characters) in combination with anatomical data (69 characters) shows that biparental care is primitive for birds, and that biparental incubation arose from an ancestral condition in which neither parent incubated. Components of parental care may be decoupled, such that incubation and feeding of nestlings is biparental, but postfledging care is uniparental; the pattern of decoupling varies across taxa. Behavioral plasticity, environmentally induced variation, and quantitative variation in characters that are coded qualitatively are some of the problems inherent in such an analysis. Nevertheless, historical analysis offers a good vehicle for obtaining rigorous hypotheses about the coevolution of avian character systems. Read less
