	Charadriidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bird family Charadriidae includes the plovers, dotterels, and lapwings, about 64 to 66 species in all.
		They are small to medium-sized birds with compact bodies, short, thick necks and long, usually pointed, wings.
		In general, larger species have often been called lapwings, smaller species plovers or dotterels and there are in fact two clear taxonomic sub-groups: most lapwings belong to the subfamily Vanellinae, most plovers and dotterels to Charadriinae.

	THE SYSTEMATIC RELATIONSHIPS OF AECHMORHYNCHUS, PROSOBONIA, AND PHEGORNIS (CHARADRIIFORMES; CHARADRII)
		A character distinguishing the vanelline plovers (except Vanellus cayanus) is a bony strut running from the transverse process to the neural arch on some of the cervical vertebrae (Figure 4); this strut is absent in charadriine plovers and in Phegornis.
		Until stronger evidence for its affinities is at hand we prefer to maintain Phegornis as a monotypic genus in the Charadriinae of the Charadriidae.
		Phegornis belongs in the Charadriinae of the Charadriidae.

		Lapwings nest on the ground in scooped-out shallow depressions lined with shells, pebbles, or vegetation; both sexes incubate and care for the young.
		Lapwings are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Charadriiformes, family Charadriidae.

	Linear sequence of families in Charadriiformes
		(1) the Charadriiformes consists of three major groups: (1) the Scolopaci [Scolopacidae, Thinocoridae, Pedionomidae, Rostratulidae, and Jacanidae]; (2) the Charadrii [Charadriidae, Recurvirostridae, Haematopodidae, Burhinidae, and Chionidae]; and (3) the Lari [Laridae, Rynchopidae, Stercorariidae, Alcidae, and Glareolidae].
		(6) Charadriidae is the sister to Haematopodidae + Recurvirostridae (consistent with Sibley and Ahlquist).

	Shorebirds: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		We have three families to contend with Recurvirostridae (Avocet and Black-necked Stilt), Charadriidae: (the plovers) and the Scolopacidae (the sandpipers) The first family has "instant id" birds, the second is not too bad, the third (the sandpipers) is where there is realwork to be done.
		Situation is not as bad as it looks to you when you first glance at this section of your field guide.
		Identifying these guys is a game of sorting them into groups by shape then getting down to the fine detail of the group (often still using shape) to id the bird.

		Charadriiformes, Burhinidae, Charadriidae, Haematopodidae, Recurvirostridae, Jacanidae, Scolopacidae, Glareolidae, Laridae, Alcidae, and allies.
		Charadriiformes is a diverse assemblage of forms which may constitute the wellspring of the Tertiary neornithine adaptive radiation, although the phylogenetic position of this order and its transitional-mosaic forms from the terminal Cretaceous/Paleocene-Eocene period ("graculavids" sensu Olson 1985), vis-a-vis the neognathous neornithines, remains uncertain.
