	THE RELATIONSHIPS AND EVOLUTION OF THE ROLLERS: FAMILIES CORACIIDAE, BRACHYPTERACIIDAE, AND LEPTOSOMATIDAE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The feeding behavior of the Brachypteraciidae is less well-known than that of the Coraciidae.
		Even though the Brachypteraciidae have evolved a different locomotor pattern in the hindlimb--the elements are elongated for the more cursorial habit--they still show great similarity to the coraciids in osteological characters.
		The interrelationships and evolu- tion of the rollers is. the subject of this paper; their affinities to the remaining families of the order will be discussed in the future.

	Auk, The: Phylogeny and fossil record of the brachypteraciidae: A comment on Kirchman et al. (2001)
		(2001) presented a phylogeny of the Brachypteraciidae (ground rollers) that yielded evidence for paraphyly of the genus Brachypteracias.
		Fossil members of either the Brachypteraciidae or the Coraciidae are thus unknown from early Tertiary deposits and there is no reason to assume that the Brachypteraciidae evolved outside Madagascar.
		Coraciidae and Brachypteraciidae most likely diverged after the early Tertiary period, which is in concordance with the rather low mitochondrial sequence divergence between Brachypteraciidae and Coraciidae reported by Kirchman et al.

		We studied relationships of five extant members of the endemic Malagasy family Brachypteraciidae, the ground rollers, using several mitochondrial genes (cytochrome-b, NADH dehydrogenase 2, 12S ribosomal RNA, and cytochrome oxidase I).
		Unweighted and weighted parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses consistently recovered monophyly of the family, a sister relationship between Brachypteraciidae and Coraciidae, and monophyly of one of three currently recognized ground roller genera (Atelornis).
		At the base of the Brachypteraciidae clade, we could not fully resolve relationships between Uratelornis and two species currently placed in Brachypteracias.
