	Caprimulgiformes
		Convergent evolution of strigiform and caprimulgiform dark-activity is supported by phylogenetic analysis using the arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (Aanat) gene.
		Mayr, G. Caprimulgiform birds from the Middle Eocene of Messel (Hessen, Germany).
		Retinal morphology and electrophysiology of two caprimulgiformes birds: The cave-living and nocturnal oilbird (Steatornis caripensis), and the crepuscularly and nocturnally foraging common pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis).

		A study of the pterylosis of the Oilbird suggested a close relationship with the owls, yet clearly the owl foot, used in the capture and manipulation of food, is quite different from the small leg and weak foot of the Oilbird.
		The idea that the Oilbird belongs somewhere within the Caprimulgiformes is nowadays generally recognized, and this has been supported by studies using egg-white protein.
		Most systematists have tended to place it next to the owls, at the beginning of the Caprimulgiformes, and it is usually believed to be an early offshoot of the order.

	Digimorph - Chordeiles minor (nighthawk)
		The caprimulgiforms, however, may compose a paraphyletic assemblage with respect to hummingbirds and swifts (Mayr, 2002).
		The monophyly of Caprimulgidae is not questioned, and a number of osteological characters support a sister-group relationship between this taxon and Nyctibiidae.
		Mayr, G. Caprimulgiform birds from the middle Eocene of Messel (Hessen, Germany).
