  Auk, The: Phylogeny of early tertiary swifts and hummingbirds (Aves: Apodiformes)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As shown by a recent phylogenetic analysis (Mayr 2002), owlet-nightjars (Aegothelidae) are the sister group of swifts and hummingbirds.
Extant Podargidae (Podargus strigoides) and Aegothelidae (Aegotheles cristatus) were used for outgroup comparisons.
The phylogenetic analysis of the character matrix (Table 1) resulted in 10 most-parsimonious trees, the consensus tree of which is shown in Figure 1.

 THE ROLE OF AVIAN RICTAL BRISTLES
No convincing evi- dence has been gathered to date to demonstrate the actual function of these bristles but it appears that their use as an insect scoop is negligible or non- existent.
Facial bristles are modified hairlike feathers which may run along the rictal region as rictal bristles in many diverse groups of birds such as the Apterygi- dae, Caprimulgidae, Aegothelidae, Mimidae, Accipitridae, and Tyrannidae.
They may also encircle the eyes as eyelashes and lie over the top of the bill as loral bristles in numerous species.

The Australian owlet-nightjar, Aegotheles cristatus (family Aegothelidae), also called "mopoke" and "owl" locally, is an active noctural bird with short wings and a long tail.
It feeds on the wing at night, like a nightjar.
When a dead owlet-nightjar was presented to one of the Kowanyama Olkola elders, he referred to it as a "messenger."

A group that traditionally includes Caprimulgidae (nightjars, including C.
minor), Nyctibiidae (potoos), Steatornithidae (oilbirds), Aegothelidae (owlet-nightjars), and Podargidae (frogmouths).
The caprimulgiforms, however, may compose a paraphyletic assemblage with respect to hummingbirds and swifts (Mayr, 2002).
