Multilocus perspectives on the monophyly and phylogeny of the order Charadriiformes (Aves) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The phylogeny of shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) and their putative sister groups was reconstructed using approximately 5 kilobases of data from three nuclear loci and two mitochondrial genes, and compared to that based on two other nuclear

Chromosomal painting of the sandpiper (Actitis macularius) detects several fissions for the Scolopacidae family (Charadriiformes) [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background The Scolopacidae family (Suborder Scolopaci, Charadriiformes) is composed of sandpipers and snipes; these birds are long-distance migrants that show great diversity in their behavior and habitat use.

The enigmatic monotypic crab plover Dromas ardeola is closely related to pratincoles and coursers (Aves, Charadriiformes, Glareolidae) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 The phylogenetic placement of the monotypic crab plover Dromas ardeola (Aves, Charadriiformes) remains controversial. Phylogenetic analysis of anatomical and behavioral traits using phenetic and cladistic methods of tree inference have resulted in ...

The Chromosomal Organization of Isleria hauxwelli and Its Meaning for the Karyotypic Evolution in Thamnophilidae (Passeriformes). [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT The order Passeriformes, the most speciose avian order, includes over 6000 species (~60% of all birds). The Amazon Basin alone hosts > 900 bird species, with Passeriformes representing > 500 of them. The family Thamnophilidae comprises ~200 insectivorous species, accounting for 15% of Neotropical passerine richness.

Post-hatching development of the remote-tactile bill-tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae). [PDF]
J AnatJuvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Functional Variation in the Feeding Apparatus of Charadriiform Shorebirds With Emphasis on Bill-Tip Organs and Micro Tongue Tip Spines. [PDF]
J MorpholComparative morphological analyses of shorebird feeding apparatus revealed substantial variation in bill‐tip organs and micro tongue tip spines across taxa. Key findings included variation in sensory pit numbers within the bill‐tip organs characteristic of Scolopacidae, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing micro tongue tip spines in several

A revision of the fossil genus Miocepphus and other Miocene Alcidae (Aves: Charadriiformes) of the Western North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2009 This study reviews and describes all known fossils of Alcidae from the Miocene of the western North Atlantic. Because the majority of alcid fossils recovered from Miocene sediments are allied with the genus Miocepphus Wetmore, 1940, the genus is revised ...
