A supertree approach to shorebird phylogeny

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004
Background Order Charadriiformes (shorebirds) is an ideal model group in which to study a wide range of behavioural, ecological and macroevolutionary processes across species. However, comparative studies depend on phylogeny to control for the effects of
