	Passerine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Many passerine families were grouped together on the basis of morphological similarities which, it is now believed, are the result of convergent evolution, not a close genetic relationship.
		For example, the "wrens" of the northern hemisphere, of Australia, and of New Zealand all look very similar and behave in similar ways, and yet belong to three far-flung branches of the passerine family tree: they are as unrelated as it is possible to be while yet remaining Passeriformes.
		Much research remains to be done, but a series of biochemical studies are gradually revealing a clearer picture of passerine origins and evolution.

		The earliest passeriform fossils from Europe are from the early Oligocene of Germany (Mayr and Manegold 2004) and France (Roux 2002).
		Passeriform birds exhibit a highly derived and very uniform osteology that facilitates their distinction from nonpasseriform birds but aggravates recognition of subgroups within the taxon.
		A derived feature on the proximal end that confirms passeriform affinites of the fossils is the presence of an ossified retinaculum extensorium; the shaft of the tarsometatarsus further shows a marked crista plantaris lateralis, which occurs only songbirds and cuckoos (Cuculidae).

	Passeriformes
		The Passeriformes (or ‘passerine’ birds) are synonymous with what are commonly known as "perching birds"; it also contains within it a major radiation commonly known as songbirds (oscine Passerines or Passeri).
		He noted that Passeriformes possess a suite of distinguishing characteristics, including a unique sperm morphology, a distinctive morphology to of the bony palate, a simple yet functionally diverse foot with three toes forward and one (the hallux) oriented backwards, and a distinctive fore- (wing) and hindlimb musculature.
		The sister relationship of Passeriformes to woodpeckers, the hornbill group and allies is reflected in Joel Cracraft’s phylogenetic hypothesis for major groups of birds based on cladistic interpretation of morphological and molecular characters (Cracraft, 1988).

		In this species, 13 cm (5 inches) long, the male is fl above, with white neck patch and a smudge of reddish colour on the white underparts; the female is brownish and dark-hooded.
		The bluethroat is aobut 14 centimetres (5 inches) long and has a bright blue throat, incorporating a crescentic spot of red or white, depending on the subspecies.
		In the large thrush family of birds are some of the finest singers—the robin, the bluebird, and the nightingale, as well as those commonly known as thrushes.

	Neornithes
		For example, morphological analyses (Cracraft, 1988) suggest a close relationship among Passeriformes, Piciformes, Coraciiformes (rollers, kingfishers) and Trogoniformes (trogons), whereas DNA-DNA hybridization analyses posit Passeriformes as being sister to a large group including Gruiformes (cranes, rails), Ciconiiformes (herons, storks, ibises) and Falconiformes (hawks, eagles, falcons).
		Analyses of avian orders using mitochondrial DNA sequence characters placed Passeriformes as basal to representative Galliformes, Anseriformes, Struthioniformes and Falconiformes using a crocodylian outgroup, and basal to all neognath orders sampled using an anseriform outgroup (Mindell et al., 1997).
