Figure 4 Simplified Cladogram of Derived Maniraptoran Relationships with Associated Tail and Rectricial Morphology Red branches indicate presence of a pygostyle; orange represents the inferred presence of a pygostyle and the rectrix-rectricial bulb complex. The white boxed node indicates the possible origin of the rectricial bulbs; alternatively, this feature may have had two or three independent origins, one in the Sapeornithiformes and also either independently in the Pengornithidae and the Ornithuromorpha or once in the ornithothoracine common ancestor.
