ciconiiformes การใช้

• Depending on the analysis and dataset, a close relationship to Ciconiiformes
• Aequornithes includes the clades Gaviiformes, Sphenisciformes, Procellariiformes, Ciconiiformes, Suliformes and Pelecaniformes.
• The Charadriiformes, for example, are grouped with the Ciconiiformes in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy.
• In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the tubenoses were included in a greatly enlarged order " Ciconiiformes ".
• In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, waders and many other groups are subsumed into a greatly enlarged Ciconiiformes order.
• Other results such as the inclusion of diverse groups into the Ciconiiformes have turned out to be very much in error.
• Birds of the two genera have 15 cervical vertebrae, unlike almost all other Ciconiiformes, Suliformes and Pelecaniformes, which have 17.
• Sibley & Monroe included the mimids in the family and demoted the starlings to rank have not been accepted ( see for example Ciconiiformes ).
• In the past they were considered to be a sister group to the storks of the order Ciconiiformes based on DNA-DNA hybridization and morphology.
• They are the only family in the order "'Ciconiiformes "', which was once much larger and held a number of families.
• Thus some authorities placed them in the Ciconiiformes with storks and herons; Sibley and Monroe ( 1990 ) even considered them a subfamily of the storks.
• The Cathartidae are sometimes placed separately in an enlarged stork family ( Ciconiiformes ), and may be raised to an order of their own ( Cathartiiformes ).
• The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy has placed it together with the other diurnal raptors in a greatly enlarged Ciconiiformes, but this results in an unnatural paraphyletic classification.
• They, as well as the " Ciconiiformes " assemblage, appear to be due to the shortcomings, both methodological and analytical, of DNA-DNA hybridization.
• On the other hand, it is peculiar that numerous fossils of Ciconiiformes are documented from there; these birds presumably shared much of their habitat with cranes back then already.
• The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, which has been widely accepted in America, lumps all the Charadriiformes together with other seabirds and birds of prey into a greatly enlarged order Ciconiiformes.
• Tropicbirds were traditionally grouped in the gannets and boobies and frigatebirds; in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the Pelecaniformes were united with other groups into a large " Ciconiiformes ".
• In response to these findings, the International Ornithological Congress ( IOC ) recently reclassified Ardeidae and their sister taxa Threskiornithidae under the order Pelecaniformes instead of the previous order of Ciconiiformes.
• Sibley and Ahlquist's taxonomy has included all the members of the Procellariiformes inside the Procellariidae and that family in an enlarged Ciconiiformes, but this change has not been widely accepted.
• The South American Classification Committee has removed the New World vultures from Ciconiiformes and instead placed them in " incertae sedis ", but notes that a move to Falconiformes or Cathartiformes is possible.
