Gill (2nd Ed.) Family Name: Climacteridae: Australasian Treecreepers...
Their behavior is said to resemble that of tits more than the treecreepers, to which they are not related.
The Short-toed Treecreeper is a small passerine bird found through much of warmer temperate Europe and into north Africa.

The technique of DNA-DNA hybridization was used to compare the nuclear DNAs of the Brown Treecreeper Climacteris picumnus and the Rufous Treecreeper Climacteris rufa with the DNAs of other passerine taxa.
We recognize the family Climacteridae, superfamily Menuroidea, parvorder Corvi, suborder Passeres.
Within the Climacteridae we recognize two genera, Climacteris for the species picumnus, rufa, melanura, erythrops, and affinis, and Cormobates for leucophaea (including minor) and placens.

Sibley and Ahlquist’s (1990) Menuroidea included Menuridae (lyrebirds), Atrichornithidae (scrub-birds), Climacteridae (Australasian treecreepers), and Ptilonorhynchidae (bowerbirds).
More recent studies show that the latter two are sister taxa and are more closely related to other oscines than to Menuridae (Barker et al.
The unnamed group including Climacteridae and Ptilonorhynchidae is sister to all oscines other than Menuroidea (Barker et al.

I am working on questions related to the Phylogeography of Australian Songbirds.
I am particularly interested in the Treecreepers (Climacteridae), an endemic Australian-New Guinea family, that is a basal songbird lineage.
I am addressing these questions by sequencing mitochondrial and nuclear DNA from samples we have previously collected.
