	Birds of India - APODIFORMES - Apodidae - Hemiprocnidae - Trochilidae - Swifts - Treeswifts - Needletails - Birding in ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Birds of India - APODIFORMES - Apodidae - Hemiprocnidae - Trochilidae - Swifts - Treeswifts - Needletails - Birding in India - Birders
		Traditionally Apodiformes have contained three families: Apodidae (swifts and swiftlets), Hemiprocnidae (treeswifts) and Trochilidae (hummingbirds).
		But in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the largest family Trochilidae (319 species) has been separated from Apodiformes to form a new order Trochiliformes.

	Swiftlet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The group contains around thirty species mostly confined to southern Asia and south Pacific islands and north eastern Australia all within the tropical and subtropical regions.
		They are in many respects typical members of the Apodidae having narrow wings for fast flight, with a wide gape and small reduced beak surrounded by bristles for catching insects in flight.
		What distinguishes many (but not all species) from other Swifts and indeed almost all other birds (see Oilbird) is their ability to use a simple but effective form of echolocation to navigate in total darkness through the chasms and shafts of the caves they utilize for night time roosting and breeding.

	Auk, The: Phylogeny of early tertiary swifts and hummingbirds (Aves: Apodiformes)
		The "Jungornithidae" sensu Karhu (1999) are shown to be paraphyletic with the Upper Eocene Argornis being the sister taxon of the taxon (Jungornis + extant Trochilidae).
		The earliest certain members of the Apodidae belong to Scaniacypselus Harrison 1984, which includes two species from the Middle Eocene of Denmark and Germany (Harrison 1984, Peters 1985, Mayr and Peters 1999).
		Monophyly of a clade including extant Hemiprocnidae, the fossil Scaniacypselus, and extant Apodidae is in concordance with previous phylogenetic hypotheses.

	A Reinterpretation of Pamprodactyly in Swifts: a Convergent Grasping Mechanism in Vertebrates
		One of these types, the pamprodactyl foot, is char- acterized as having all four toes ordinarily directed forward (or capable of being turned forward) (Lands- borough Thompson 1964, Van Tyne and Berger 1976, Raikow in press).
		Pamprodactyly is a clear example of this, and the mouse birds (Co- liidae) and some of the swifts (Apodidae) are among those prominently, but incorrectly, mentioned as ex- hibiting this type of foot.
		Pamprodactyly does not describe the observed action of the toes of swifts and colies in life, and it obscures the recognition of a grasping mechanism showing a remarkable conver- gence toward that found in two other classes of ver- tebrates.

	Swift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Swift is a common name for about 100 species of birds in 2 closely related families (Apodidae, Hemiprocnidae), sometimes grouped with HUMMINGBIRDS in order Apodiformes.
		Long, slender, pointed wings and cylindrical bodies make possible the rapid, acrobatic flight for which these most aerial of birds are named.
		The family name Apodidae [Gk, "footless"] is derived from the swift's tiny feet, with strong claws on 4 toes showing specialized grasping abilities ideal for clinging to cliff faces.

	Swifts
		The swifts (Apodidae) are among those creatures whose very existence seem shrouded with an air of improbability.
		Imagine a bird so completely adapted to an aerial existence as to be rendered incapable of walking and which, instead of perching, must cling to vertical surfaces like a bat.
		Unlike swallows however, swifts are among the few groups of birds able to enter a torpid state, enabling adults and young to slow down their metabolism during periods of inclement weather.

	Bioline International Official Site (site up-dated regularly)
		During an ecological study, carried out between 1994 and 1996 with Streptoprocne biscutata (Sclater) (Apodiformes: Apodidae) birds, that inhabit caves in the Quatro Barras County, State of Paraná, Southern Brazil, a new tick species of the subgenus Multidentatus was observed.
		This could be a strategy for mating and not necessarily a direct dependence on the host, despite the parasitic specificity of females and immature forms.
		The family Apodidae is amply distributed, on almost all continents (Collins 1985).

	Auk, The: Phylogenetic patterns in the Trochilidae
		We used starch-gel electrophoresis to construct and test phylogenetic hypotheses for representatives of the six clades, using two species of swifts (Apodidae) as outgroups.
		The average Nei's genetic distance (D) among 14 hummingbird taxa was 0.625; D averaged 1.61 between the swifts and hummingbirds.
		We included two species of swifts (Apodidae; Reinarda squamata, Chaetura cinereiventris) that served as outgroups (see Appendix 1).

		Swifts are in the order Apodiformes, suborder Apodi and family Apodidae.
		As their name Apodidae (meaning “without feet”) suggests, they have tiny feet and are not able to perch.
		However, modified tail feathers help swifts land on and move around on vertical surfaces.
