Suprageneric relationships of galliform birds (Aves, Galliformes): a cladistic analysis of morphological characters [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003 Of the basal clades of extant birds (Neornithes) the ‘landfowl’ or galliforms (Aves, Galliformes) are the most speciose. Cladistic analysis of more than 100 morphological characters coded at the generic level for most putative galliform genera confirms that the megapodes (‘mound builders’; Megapodiidae) are the most basal clade within the order.
