Abstract
⺠Combined substitution and indel data yield a topology that cannot be obtained from either data set alone. ⺠The nucleotide insertion-to-deletion ratios indicate a rapid decrease of intron length. ⺠Indel fixation rate in neognathous birds is much faster than that in therian (placental) mammals. ⺠Indel fixation rates vary substantially among avian taxa and correlate with lineage-specific evolutionary rates.
